Table 1: Parameters of the UV luminosity functions estimated from the VVDS for different fixed values of $\alpha $. "EW'' indicates the equal-weight LFs and "PR'' the photometric-rejection ones. $\phi ^*$ is in units of 10-3 mag-1 Mpc-3. The 68% and 90% (in parenthesis) confidence levels are also provided.
