Two families of sets \(\mathcal{A}\) and \(\mathcal{B}\) are called \emph{cross-\(t\)-intersecting} if \(|A \cap B| \geq t\) for all \(A \in \mathcal{A}\) and \(B \in \mathcal{B}\). Determining the maximum product of sizes for such…

For an elliptic curve $E$ over $K$, the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture predicts that the rank of Mordell-Weil group $E(K)$ is equal to the order of the zero of $L(E_{/ K},s)$ at $s=1$. In this paper, we shall give a proof for elliptic…

Paul Erd\H{o}s and L\'{a}szl\'{o} Lov\'{a}sz proved in a landmark article that, for any positive integer $k$, up to isomorphism there are only finitely many maximal intersecting families of $k-$sets (maximal $k-$cliques). So they posed the…

Let $r_k(n)$ denote the maximum cardinality of a set $A \subset \{1,2, \dots, n \}$ such that $A$ does not contain a $k$-term arithmetic progression. In this paper, we give a method of constructing such a set and prove the lower bound…

Two families of sets $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ are called cross-$t$-intersecting if $|A\cap B|\ge t$ for all $A\in \mathcal{A}$, $B\in \mathcal{B}$. An active problem in extremal set theory is to determine the maximum product of sizes…

In a series of four papers we prove the following relaxation of the Loebl-Komlos-Sos Conjecture: For every $\alpha>0$ there exists a number $k_0$ such that for every $k>k_0$ every $n$-vertex graph $G$ with at least $(\frac12+\alpha)n$…

This work derives an upper bound on the maximum cardinality of a family of graphs on a fixed number of vertices, in which the intersection of every two graphs in that family contains a subgraph that is isomorphic to a specified graph H.…

In 1965 Erd\H os conjectured that for all $k\ge2$, $s\ge1$ and $n\ge k(s+1)$, an $n$-vertex $k$-uniform hypergraph $\F$ with $\nu(\F)=s$ cannot have more than \newline $\max\{\binom{sk+k-1}k,\;\binom nk-\binom{n-s}k\}$ edges. It took almost…

We give a Hilton-Milner Theorem for the $r$-independent sets in the graph that is the union of copies of $K_k$. That is, we determine the maximum intersecting families of $r$-independent sets in this graph, subject to the condition that the…

We investigate the famous conjecture by Erd\H os-Simonovits and Sidorenko using information theory. Our method gives a unified treatment for all known cases of the conjecture and it implies various new results as well. Our topological type…

We show that if a simplicial complex is a near-cone of sufficiently high depth, then the only maximum families of small pairwise intersecting faces are those with a common intersection. Thus, near-cones of sufficiently high depth satisfy…

Alspach [{\sl Bull. Inst. Combin. Appl.}~{\bf 52} (2008), 7--20] defined the maximal matching sequencibility of a graph $G$, denoted~$ms(G)$, to be the largest integer $s$ for which there is an ordering of the edges of $G$ such that every…

In 1974, Erd\H{o}s and Kleitman conjectured that if a family $\mathcal{F}\subseteq 2^{[n]}$ contains no matching of size \(s\) and is maximal with respect to this property, then $ |\mathcal{F}|\ge \left(1-2^{-(s-1)}\right)\cdot 2^{n}. $ For…

In this paper we attack the Erdos-Straus conjecture by means of the structure of its solutions, extending and improving the results of a previous paper. Using previous results and supported by the works of Elsholtz and Tao and Monks and…

Two perfect matchings $P$ and $Q$ of the complete graph on $2k$ vertices are said to be set-wise $t$-intersecting if there exist edges $P_{1}, \cdots, P_{t}$ in $P$ and $Q_{1}, \cdots, Q_{t}$ in $Q$ such that the union of edges $P_{1},…

In 1973, Erd\H{o}s conjectured the existence of high girth $(n,3,2)$-Steiner systems. Recently, Glock, K\"{u}hn, Lo, and Osthus and independently Bohman and Warnke proved the approximate version of Erd\H{o}s' conjecture. Just this year,…

Let $\mathcal F\subset 2^{[n]}$ be an $s$-uniform family such that every two distinct sets have a nonempty intersection but intersect in at most $k$ elements. By the well-known Ray-Chaudhuri--Wilson theorem, since the intersections can take…

The Erdos-Ko-Rado theorem tells us how large an intersecting family of r-sets from an n-set can be, while results due to Lovasz and Tuza give bounds on the number of singletons that can occur as pairwise intersections of sets from such a…

Our main result is a new upper bound for the size of k-uniform, L-intersecting families of sets, where L contains only positive integers. We characterize extremal families in this setting. Our proof is based on the Ray-Chaudhuri--Wilson…

A family of sets is called $r$-\emph{cover free} if no set in the family is contained in the union of $r$ (or less) other sets in the family. A $1$-cover free family is simply an antichain with respect to set inclusion. Thus, Sperner's…
