Let k be an imaginary abelian number field whose conductor has at most two distinct prime divisors and whose maximal subfields which are ramified at one prime are imaginary. We shall find a basis for the group C of circular units in k and compute the index of C in the group E of units in k.
We construct a generalization of Demjanenko's matrix for an arbitrary imaginary abelian field and prove a relation formula between the determinant of this matrix and the relative class number. In a special case, we prove that the determinant of this matrix coincides with Maillet's determinant. As an
