Mollin, “Prime valued polynomials and class numbers of quadratic fields,” International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, vol. 13, no. 1, pp. 1-11, 1990. doi:10.1155/S0161171290000011http://hdl.handle.net/1880/108667https://doi.org/10.11575/PRISM/45878It is the purpose of this paper to give a survey of the relationship between the class number one problem for real quadratic fields and prime-producing quadratic polynomials; culminating in an overview of the recent solution to the class number one problem for real quadratic fields of Richaud-Degert type. We conclude with new conjectures, questions and directions.Journal Article2018-09-27enCopyright © 1990 Hindawi Publishing Corporation.
