Abstract
We study an Eulerian walker on a square lattice, starting from an initially randomly oriented background using Monte Carlo simulations. We present evidence that, that, for large number of steps , the asymptotic shape of the set of sites visited by the walker is a perfect circle. The radius of the circle increases as , for large , and the width of the boundary region grows as , with . If we introduce stochasticity in the evolution rules, the mean square displacement of the walker, , shows a crossover from the Eulerian () to a simple random walk () behaviour.
