Function: quadunit Section: number_theoretical C-Name: quadunit Prototype: G Help: quadunit(D): fundamental unit of the quadratic field of discriminant D where D must be positive. Doc: fundamental unit\sidx{fundamental units} of the real quadratic field $\Q(\sqrt D)$ where $D$ is the positive discriminant of the field. If $D$ is not a fundamental discriminant, this probably gives the fundamental unit of the corresponding order. $D$ must be an integer congruent to 0 or 1 modulo 4, which is not a square; the result is a quadratic number (see \secref{se:quadgen}).
