The Kn′K_n' formulation of the Lonely Runner Conjecture

About 14 years old · traced to

For n∈Nn\in\mathbb{N}, let Kn′K_n' be the obstruction parameter defined in the paper, and let κ(n)\kappa(n) be the quantity satisfying

Kn′=1−2κ(n).K_n'=1-2\kappa(n).

The Kn′K_n' formulation.

Kn′=n−1n+1K_n'=\frac{n-1}{n+1}

for every n∈Nn\in\mathbb{N}. This is stated as equivalent to the Lonely Runner Conjecture through the relation above. It remains open in general.
