For a reduced, irreducible and nondegenerate curve C ⊂ ℙ^r of degree d, it was shown that the arithmetic genus g of C has an upper bound π₀(d, r) by G. Castelnuovo. And he also classified the curves that attain the extremal value. These curves are arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay and contained in a surface of minimal degree. In this paper, we investigate the arithmetic genus of curves lie on a surface of minimal degree - the Veronese surface, smooth rational normal surface scrolls and singular rational normal surface scrolls. We also provide a construction of curves on singular rational normal surface scroll S(0, 2) ⊂ ℙ³ which attain the maximal arithmetic genus.

For a nondegenerate irreducible projective variety, it is a classical problem to describe its defining equations and the syzygies among them. In this paper, we precisely determine a minimal generating set and the minimal free resolution of defining ideals of some rational curves of maximal genus in ℙ³.
