Global side-of-the-chord behavior for extensions larger than the self-dual extension
Establish that, for the Poisson operator and every extension parameter \(\delta>L/2\), the tail law \(r_\omega(\tau)\) lies below the chord \(-a(\omega)\tau\) throughout the entire interval \(0<\tau<\kappa_\sigma(\omega)\), equivalently that for \(\delta<L/2\) it lies above the chord; determine whether the associated sharp power law holds at all tail levels.

We conjecture that for $\delta > L/2$ the tail law lies below the chord along the whole tail, as the computations show and as certified interpolation configurations prove for $\delta = L$ and $\delta = 2L$ along most of the tail, and equivalently, by Theorem~\ref{thm:tail_duality}, that for $\delta < L/2$ it lies above the chord.
For convection--diffusion the computed tail is the same (Section~\ref{sec:num_bound}), but a proof is open.
