Abstract
We study the Iwasawa λ-invariant of the cyclotomic Z{double-struck}2-extension of Q{double-struck}(√p) for an odd prime number p which satisfies p ≡ 1 (mod 16) relating it to units having certain properties. We give an upper bound of λ and show λ = 0 in certain cases. We also give new numerical examples of λ = 0.
