Let $\mathbb N_0$ be the set of non-negative integers, and let $P(n,l)$ denote the set of all weak compositions of $n$ with $l$ parts, i.e., $P(n,l)=\{ (x_1,x_2,\dots, x_l)\in\mathbb N_0^l\ :\ x_1+x_2+\cdots+x_l=n\}$. For any element…

We say that a set $A$ \emph{$t$-intersects} a set $B$ if $A$ and $B$ have at least $t$ common elements. Two families $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ are said to be \emph{cross-$t$-intersecting} if each set in $\mathcal{A}$ $t$-intersects…

Given a sequence of positive integers $p = (p_1, . . ., p_n)$, let $S_p$ denote the family of all sequences of positive integers $x = (x_1,...,x_n)$ such that $x_i \le p_i$ for all $i$. Two families of sequences (or vectors), $A,B \subseteq…
