Abstract

In this paper, we enumerate superspecial hyperelliptic curves of genus 4 over finite fields \(\mathbb {F}_q\) for small q. This complements our preceding results in the non-hyperelliptic case. We give a feasible algorithm to enumerate superspecial hyperelliptic curves of genus g over \(\mathbb {F}_q\) in the case that q and \(2g+2\) are coprime and \(q>2g+1\). We executed the algorithm for \((g,q)= (4,11^2)\), \((4,13^2)\), \((4,17^2)\) and (4, 19) with our implementation on a computer algebra system Magma. Moreover, we found many maximal hyperelliptic curves and some minimal hyperelliptic curves over \(\mathbb {F}_{q}\) from among enumerated superspecial curves.
