A dyadic-denominator conjecture for lonely runner instances
A dyadic-denominator conjecture for lonely runner instances
Let be a speed vector with , and let a suitable time mean a time at which the speeds in form a lonely runner instance. Let and be the parameters appearing in the speed vector, let be a natural number, and let denote the ceiling function.
Dyadic-denominator conjecture. For every with , there is always a suitable time of the form
for some natural number .
The claim proposes an explicit restricted family of denominators containing a suitable time for every primitive speed vector. It is presented as a continuation of results giving explicit suitable times for known families; its general validity is open.
