It has been proved by A. Baker [1] and H. M. Stark [7] that there exist exactly 9 imaginary quadratic fields of class-number one. On the other hand, G.F. Gauss has conjectured that there exist infinitely many real quadratic fields of class-number one, and the conjecture is now still unsolved.

Although class number one problem for imaginary quadratic fields was solved in 1966 by A. Baker [3] and by H. M. Stark [25] independently, the problem for real quadratic fields remains still unsettled. However, since papers by Ankeny–Chowla–Hasse [2] and H. Hasse [9], many papers concerning this problem or giving estimate for class numbers of real quadratic fields from below have appeared. There are three methods used there, namely the first is related with quadratic diophantine equations ([2], [9], [27, 28, 29, 31], [17]), and the second is related with continued fraction expantions ([8], [4], [16], [14], [18]).

Class number one problem for imaginary quadratic fields was solved in 1966 by A. Baker and H.M. Stark independently. However, the problem for real quadratic fields is still unsolved. It seems to us that one of the most essential difficulties of the problem for real quadratic fields comes from deep connection of the class number with the fundamental unit.

Thanks to K. Heegner [He], A. Baker [Ba] and H. Stark [S], we know that there are nine imaginary quadratic fields of class number one. Gauss conjectured that there are infinitely many real quadratic fields of class number one, but the conjecture is still open.

Let K be a real biquadratic field and let k be a quadratic field with odd class number contained in K. The aim of this article is to determine the rank of the 2-class group of K and we give applications to the structure of the 2-class group of some biquadratic fields and to the 2-class field tower of some real quadratic fields. Résumé: Soient K un corps biquadratique réel et k un sous-corps quadratique de K dont le nombre de classes est impair. Dans ce papier on détermine le rang du 2-groupe de classes de K et on donne des applications à la structure du 2-groupe de classes de certains corps biquadratiques et aussi à la tour des 2-corps de classes de Hilbert de certains corps quadratiques réels.
