Solution to the Dead Fly Problem

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: "This paper proves that any set of points in the plane intersecting every convex region of area 1 must contain pairs of points at arbitrarily small distances. The proof uses a packing argument, interval analysis, and scaling to derive a contradiction unless the minimum distance is zero."
