The Lonely Runner Conjecture

With Matt Stoffregen, I have worked on finding a total solution to the Lonely Runner Conjecture, a decades-old open problem in Number Theory related to Diophantine Approximation. Our work was successful in showing that the problem was "nearly" solved, and that conventional approaches would not work.

A sad runner
Promising angles of attack have related to dynamical systems theory and optimization, but as of yet there is no total solution.
