The shifted Lonely Runner Conjecture
The shifted Lonely Runner Conjecture
Given pairwise distinct positive velocities and arbitrary starting points , the distance from to the nearest integer should be at least simultaneously for some real number and every . Shifted Lonely Runner Conjecture. There is a real number such that, for all , the distance of to the nearest integer is at least . This is the shifted variant of the Lonely Runner Conjecture, allowing arbitrary individual starting points rather than a common starting point. The source gives no resolution status for this variant.
