In number theory, specifically the study of Diophantine approximation, the lonely runner conjecture is a conjecture about the long-term behavior of runners on a circular track. It states that n runners on a track of unit length, with constant speeds all distinct from one another, will each be lonely at some time—at least 1 / n units away from all others. The conjecture was first posed in 1967 by German mathematician Jörg M. Wills, in purely number-theoretic terms, and independently in 1974 by T
