Scientific paper

A complete catalog of 420 faint UV-excess-selected QSOs is used to determine the QSO luminosity function and its evolution. At faint magnitudes the number-magnitude relation for QSOs exhibits the expected departure from the steep power-law slope occurring at brighter magnitudes. Luminosity evolution models are proposed which can describe the evolution of bright low-redshift QSOs.
