Abstract

Let be the points in with coordinates

respectively. We prove that, for any genus , a plane curve of degree having a -tuple point at , and a -tuple point at , and no other singularities, exists and that the general plane curve of that degree and with those singularities is a Brill–Noether–Petri general curve of genus .
