How can we increase the smallest distance between identical elements?

edit

One way to increase the smallest distance between identical elements is to spread them out more evenly across the available space. This can be achieved by increasing the size of the overall space or reducing the number of identical elements within it. Alternatively, the identical elements could be arranged in a pattern that maximizes the distance between them, such as a diagonal or zigzag pattern instead of a straight line. Another option would be to introduce obstacles or barriers between the identical elements, creating physical separation and increasing the distance between them.
