Abstract
Here we study the Brill-Noether theory of special linear systems on a singu lar Gorenstein bielliptic curve Y. Any such linear system is associated to a spanned rank I torsion-free sheaf, L. We obtain the same results as in th e case of a smooth curve if either L is an element of Pic(Y) or Y has only ordinary nodes or ordinary cusps as singularities. (C) 2001 Elsevier Scienc e B.V.
