Abstract

In this paper we determine the generalized Weierstrass semigroup \( \widehat{H}(P_{\infty }, P_1, \ldots , P_{m})\), and consequently the Weierstrass semigroup \(H(P_{\infty }, P_1, \ldots , P_{m})\), at \(m+1\) points on the curves \(\mathcal {X}_{a,b,n,s}\) and \(\mathcal {Y}_{n,s}\). These curves has been introduced in Tafazolian et al (J Pure Appl Algebra 220:1122–1132, 2016) as new examples of curves which cannot be covered by the Hermitian curve.
