Abstract

We give effective bounds on the class number of any algebraic function field of genus $g$ defined over a finite field. These bounds depend on the possibly partial information on the number of places on each degree $r\leq g$. Such bounds are especially useful for estimating the class numbers of function fields in towers of function fields over finite fields having several positive Tsfasman-Vladut invariants.
