On the lonely runner conjecture
Ram Krishna Pandey · Mathematica Bohemica · 2010
Suppose $k+1$ runners having nonzero distinct constant speeds run laps on a unit-length circular track. The Lonely Runner Conjecture states that there is a time at which a given runner is at distance at least $1/(k+1)$ from all the others. The conjecture has been already settled up to seven ($k \leq 6$) runners while it is open for eight or more runners. In this paper the conjecture has been verified for four or more runners having some particular speeds using elementary tools.
