Counting the Eulerian circuits of an undirected graph is #P-complete, even for planar 4-regular graphs, while for directed graphs the BEST theorem counts them in polynomial time. However, we are unaware of any exact algorithm for undirected graphs of bounded degree that runs in time $2^{o(m)}$, where $m$ is the number of edges. We show that such an algorithm follows from the exact counting of Hamiltonian cycles that we proved earlier on top of Anthropic's claimed #SAT algorithm. The reduction is classical: by Kotzig's description, the Eulerian circuits of $G$ are in bijection with the…
