Intersecting families of sets, no l containing two common elements

چکیده

Let H denote the set {f1, f2, ..., fn}, 2 the collection of all subsets of H and F ⊆ 2 be a family. The maximum of |F| is studied if any k subsets have a non-empty intersection and the intersection of any l distinct subsets (1 ≤ k < l) is empty. This problem is reduced to a covering problem. If we have the conditions that any two subsets have a non-empty intersection and the intersection of any l distinct subsets contains no two different elements we show that the maximum of |F| is (l − 1)n+ o(n). AMS classification: 05D05; 05B25

On t-intersecting families of signed sets and permutations

A family A of sets is said to be t-intersecting if any two sets in A contain at least t common elements. A t-intersecting family is said to be trivial if there are at least t elements common to all its sets. Let X be an r-set {x1, ..., xr}. For k ≥ 2, we de ne SX,k and S∗ X,k to be the families of k-signed r-sets given by SX,k := {{(x1, a1), ..., (xr, ar)} : a1, ..., ar are elements of {1, ...,...

The maximum sum and product of sizes of cross-intersecting families

A family A of sets is said to be t-intersecting if any two distinct sets in A have at least t common elements. Families A1,A2, ...,Ak are said to be cross-t-intersecting if for any i and j in {1, 2, ..., k} with i 6= j, any set in Ai intersects any set in Aj on at least t elements. We prove that for any finite family F that has at least one set of size at least t, there exists an integer k0 ≤ |...

The Intersection Structure of t-Intersecting Families

A family of sets is t-intersecting if any two sets from the family contain at least t common elements. Given a t-intersecting family of r-sets from an n-set, how many distinct sets of size k can occur as pairwise intersections of its members? We prove an asymptotic upper bound on this number that can always be achieved. This result can be seen as a generalization of the Erdős-Ko-Rado theorem.

Ahlswede–Khachatrian theorem

The Erdős–Ko–Rado theorem determines the largest μp-measure of an intersecting family of sets. We consider the analogue of this theorem to t-intersecting families (families in which any two sets have at least t elements in common), following Ahlswede and Khachatrian [1, 2]. We present a proof of the μp version of their theorem, which is adapted from the earlier proofs. Due to the simpler nature...

Extremal t-intersecting sub-families of hereditary families

A family A of sets is said to be t-intersecting if any two sets in A contain at least t common elements. A t-intersecting family is said to be trivial if there are at least t elements common to all its sets. A family H is said to be hereditary if all subsets of any set in H are in H. For a finite family F , let F (s) be the family of s-element sets in F , and let μ(F) be the size of a smallest ...
