We apply a Minkowski-type theorem for function fields to compute the
proportion of certain families of hyperellptic curves over finite
fields of characteristic three that have any particular a-number. In
particular, we compute the number of hyperellptic curves of any genus
with maximal a-number over any such field. This work is joint with
Jeffrey Lin Thunder and Colin Weir.
