Gimigliano–Harbourne–Hirschowitz conjecture for effective divisors on blown-up planes

From papers

Let X=X2,sX=X_{2,s} be the blow-up of the projective plane at ss general points, and let D in Pic(X)D\text{ in }\operatorname{Pic}(X) be an effective divisor of the specified form. Write χ(X,OX(D))\chi(X,\mathcal{O}_X(D)) for the Euler characteristic of OX(D))\mathcal{O}_X(D)). A (1)(-1) curve is a smooth, irreducible rational divisor CC with CC=1C\cdot C=-1. Gimigliano–Harbourne–Hirschowitz conjecture. One has

χ(X,OX(D))=dimH0(X,OX(D))\chi(X,\mathcal{O}_X(D))=\dim H^0(X,\mathcal{O}_X(D))

if and only if DC1D\cdot C\geq -1 for every (1)(-1) curve CC on XX. This is also known as the SGHH conjecture and is equivalent to a conjecture of Segre; its general status is not established in the supplied text.
