Abstract

Aims. We investigate the global galaxy evolution over ~12 Gyr (0.05 ≤ z ≤ 4.5), from the far ultraviolet (FUV) luminosity function (LF), luminosity density (LD), and star formation rate density (SFRD), using the VIMOS-VLT Deep Survey (VVDS), a single deep galaxy redshift survey with a well controlled selection function.
