[ABRIDGED] I perform a detailed comparison of the shape of the optical luminosity functions as a function of galaxy class and filter, which have been obtained from redshift surveys with an effective depth ranging from z~0.01 to z~0.6. This…
The luminosity function of galaxies of the Early Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and the Las Campanas Redshift Survey (LCRS) is calculated. The luminosity function depends on redshift, density of the environment and is…
We present deep two-colour photometry of two rich clusters at z=0.18, A665 and A1689. We use these data to construct number counts as a function of magnitude in the two fields. By combining these counts with similar observations from a…

Standard models for deep galaxy counts are based on luminosity functions (LF) with relatively flat faint end ($\alpha\sim-1.0$). Galaxy counts in the B--band exceed the prediction of such models by a factor of 2 to more than 5, forcing the…
