Abstract

Let n1,,n,k1,,kn_1,\dots,n_\ell,k_1,\dots,k_\ell be integers and let V1,,VV_1,\dots,V_\ell be disjoint sets with Vi=ni|V_i|=n_i for i=1,,i=1,\dots,\ell. Define i=1(Viki)\sqcup_{i=1}^\ell \binom{V_i}{k_i} as the collection of all subsets FF of i=1Vi\cup_{i=1}^\ell V_i with FVi=ki|F\cap V_i| =k_i for each i=1,,i=1,\dots,\ell. In this paper, we show that if the matching number of Fi=1(Viki)\mathcal{F}\subseteq \sqcup_{i=1}^\ell \binom{V_i}{k_i} is at most ss and ni42ki2sn_i\geq 4\ell^2 k_i^2s for all ii, then Fmax1i[(niki)(niski)]ji(njkj)|\mathcal{F}| \leq \max_{1\leq i\leq \ell}[\binom{n_i}{k_i}-\binom{n_i-s}{k_i}]\prod_{j\neq i}\binom{n_j}{k_j}. Let F1,F2,,Fsi=1(Viki)\mathcal{F}_1,\mathcal{F}_2,\dots,\mathcal{F}_s\subseteq\sqcup_{i=1}^\ell \binom{V_i}{k_i} with ni82ki2sn_i\geq 8\ell^2k_i^2s for all ii. We also prove that if F1,F2,,Fs\mathcal{F}_1,\mathcal{F}_2,\dots,\mathcal{F}_s are rainbow matching free, then there exists tt in [s][s] such that Ftmax1i[(niki)(nis+1ki)]ji(njkj).|\mathcal{F}_t|\leq \max_{1\leq i\leq \ell}\left[\binom{n_i}{k_i}-\binom{n_i-s+1}{k_i}\right]\prod_{j\neq i}\binom{n_j}{k_j}.
