Abstract

We determine the gonality and the Clifford index for curves on a compact smooth toric surface. Moreover, it is shown that their gonality is computed by pencils on the ambient surface. From the geometrical viewpoint, this means that the gonality can be read off from the lattice polygon associated to the curve.
