The palindromic index - A measure of ambiguous cycles of reduced ideals without any ambiguous ideals in real quadratic orders
Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux, Tome 7 (1995) no. 2, pp. 447-460.

Herein we introduce the palindromic index as a device for studying ambiguous cycles of reduced ideals with no ambiguous ideal in the cycle.
