  • We explicitly determine fundamental units and regulators of an infinite family of cyclic quartic function fields $L_h$ of unit rank 3 with a parameter h in a polynomial ring $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$, where $\mathbb{F}_q$ is the finite field of order q with characteristic not equal to 2. This result resolves the second part of Lehmer's project for the function field case.
