A conjecture, related to the Nagata conjecture and the Segre-Harbourne-Gimigliano-Hirschowitz conjecture, states that every integral curve with negative self-intersection on the blow-up of ¶2 at a set of points in very general position is a (-1)-curve. In this paper we verify this conjecture for all curves whose image on ¶2 is a curve with a singularity of multiplicity two at one of the centers of the blow-up.
