In a previous paper we proved that there are 11 quadratic algebraic function fields with divisor class number two. Here we complete the classification of algebraic function fields with divisor class number two giving all non-quadratic solutions. Our result is the following. Let us denote by k the fi

We list all imaginary cyclotomic extensions β«ήβ¬ x, β³ rβ«ήβ¬ x with ideal class q M Ε½ x . q number equal to one. Apart from the zero genus ones, there are 17 solutions up to Ε½ . β«ήβ¬ x -isomorphism: 13 of them are defined over β«ήβ¬ and the 4 remainings are q 3 defined over β«ήβ¬ .
The analogues of the classical Kronecker and Hurwitz class number relations for function fields of any positive characteristic are obtained by a method parallel to the classical proof. In the case of even characteristic, purely inseparable orders also have to be taken into account. A subtle point is
