Structure conjecture for linear systems on generic K3 surfaces

From papers

Let SS and L\mathcal L be as above: SS is a generic K3K3 surface with Pic(S)=ZH{\rm Pic}(S)=\mathbb{Z}H, H2=2g22H^2=2g-2\geq 2, and L=Ln(d,m1,,mr)\mathcal L=\mathcal L^n(d,m_1,\ldots,m_r) is the system of curves in dH|dH| through general points pip_i with multiplicities mim_i, where n=2g2n=2g-2. A fixed component is an irreducible curve contained in every divisor of the system. Structure conjecture. (i) L\mathcal L is special if and only if L=L4(d,2d)\mathcal L=\mathcal L^4(d,2d) or L=L2(d,d2)\mathcal L=\mathcal L^2(d,d^2) with d2d\geq 2; (ii) if L\mathcal L is non-empty, then its general divisor has exactly the imposed multiplicities at the points pip_i; (iii) if L\mathcal L is non-special and has a fixed irreducible component CC, then either L=L2(m+1,m+1,m)=mC+L2(1,1)\mathcal L=\mathcal L^2(m+1,m+1,m)=mC+\mathcal L^2(1,1) with C=L2(1,12)C=\mathcal L^2(1,1^2), or L=2C\mathcal L=2C with C{L4(1,13),L6(1,2,1),L10(1,3)}C\in\{\mathcal L^4(1,1^3),\mathcal L^6(1,2,1),\mathcal L^{10}(1,3)\}, or L=C\mathcal L=C; (iv) if L\mathcal L has no fixed components, then either its general element is irreducible or L=L2(2,2)\mathcal L=\mathcal L^2(2,2). This conjecture is described as a translation to K3K3 surfaces of the Gimigliano–Harbourne–Hirschowitz conjecture. The paper says that it proves this conjecture equivalent to the Segre-like conjecture above, but the supplied source does not establish either conjecture in full.
