Seshadri constants on hyperelliptic surfaces

We prove new results on single point Seshadri constants for ample line bundles on hyperelliptic surfaces. Given a hyperelliptic surface $X$ and an ample line bundle $L$ on $X$, we show that the least Seshadri constant $\epsilon (L)$ of $L$ is a rational number when $X$ is not of type 6. We also prove new lower bounds for the Seshadri constant $\epsilon (L,1)$ of $L$ at a very general point.
