Coefficient-of-asymmetry reformulation of the Lonely Runner Conjecture
Coefficient-of-asymmetry reformulation of the Lonely Runner Conjecture
Let be a velocity vector, meaning that its entries are distinct and relatively prime, and let
An interior lattice point is a point , and denotes its coefficient of asymmetry. Coefficient-of-asymmetry reformulation. For every velocity vector , there exists an interior lattice point such that
This is presented as an equivalent geometric formulation of the Lonely Runner Conjecture, via the identity between the minimum coefficient of asymmetry and the gap of loneliness. Its status is therefore the same as that conjecture and remains open in general.
