Abstract

P. Frankl and J. Pach proved the following uniform version of Sauer's Lemma. Let n,d,sn,d,s be natural numbers such that dnd\leq n, s+1n/2s+1\leq n/2. Let \cF([n]d)\cF \subseteq {[n] \choose d} be an arbitrary dd-uniform set system such that \cF\cF does not shatter an s+1s+1-element set, then \cF(ns). |\cF|\leq {n \choose s}. We prove here two generalizations of the above theorem to nn-tuple systems. To obtain these results, we use Gr\"obner basis methods, and describe the standard monomials of Hamming spheres.
