Polynomial-time conjecture for subgraphs with boundedly many components

From papers

Let GG be a finite graph and let HH be a subgraph of GG with at most kk components, where kk is a natural number. The notions SS-Eulerian and semi SS-Eulerian mean, respectively, that HH has an SS-Eulerian circuit or an SS-Eulerian trail: a closed or open trail in GG containing every edge of HH. Polynomial-time conjecture. For every natural number kk, determining whether HH is SS-Eulerian or semi SS-Eulerian can be done in polynomial time. The paper establishes NP-completeness for unrestricted subgraphs and a linear-time algorithm for connected subgraphs; the conjecture proposes polynomial-time solvability for every fixed bound on the number of components.
