Özet

In 2002, Tomita and Yamamuro defined several theorems for fundamental unit of certain real quadratic number fields. Although, there are infinitely many values of d having all 1s in the symmetric part of continued fraction expansion of wd, Tomita and Yamamuro (1992) had described explicitly one type of d for the fundamental units of the real quadratic fields by using Fibonacci sequence in the Theorem 3 for d = 2,3(mod4) and in the Theorem 2 in the case of d = 1(mod4) (2002). The main purpose of this paper is to generalize and provide an improvement of the theorem 3 and the theorem 2 in the paper of Tomita and Yamamuro (2002). Moreover, the present paper deals with new certain formulas for fundamental unit ed and Yokoi's d -invariants nd, md in the relation to continued fraction expansion of wd for such real quadratic fields. All results are supported by numerical tables.
