A Solution to the Lonely Runner Conjecture for Almost All Points
Abstract
The Lonely Runner Conjecture is a number theory problem, dating to 1964. Using dynamical systems theory, we show almost all sets of velocities solve the conjecture. Furthermore, any "traditional" approach of Diophantine approximation cannot solve the problem, and we offer a short list of reformulations of the problem.
