Existence conjecture for curves with Jacobian syzygies of the same degree

Let C:f=0C:f=0 be a reduced plane curve of degree dd, and let d1dmd_1\leq\cdots\leq d_m be the degrees of its minimal Jacobian syzygies, with r=d1r=d_1. A curve of type (d,r,m)(d,r,m) is one satisfying

r=d1=d2==dm.r=d_1=d_2=\cdots=d_m.

Existence conjecture for curves of type (d,r,m)(d,r,m). For any integers d,m3d,m\geq 3 and any integer rr such that

d2rd1andm<2rd+3,\frac{d}{2}\leq r\leq d-1\quad\text{and}\quad m<2r-d+3,

there are curves of type (d,r,m)(d,r,m).

The conjecture proposes existence throughout the indicated range for curves whose Jacobian syzygies have the same degree but whose number of syzygies is below the maximal-Tjurina value. The source presents examples in many cases, but does not state that the general assertion has been proved, so the conjecture remains open.
