A set system is called union closed if for any two sets in the set system their union is also in the set system. Gilmer recently proved that in any union closed set system some element belongs to at least a $0.01$ fraction of sets, and…

We prove that the conjecture made by Peter Frankl in the late 1970s is true. In other words for every finite union-closed family which contains a non?empty set, there is an element that belongs to at least half of its m

The union-closed sets conjecture (Frankl's conjecture) says that for any finite union-closed family of finite sets, other than the family consisting only of the empty set, there exists an element that belongs to at least half of the sets in…

A celebrated unresolved conjecture of Peter Frankl states that every finite collection of sets, with finite universe, admits an abundant element. In this paper, we prove Frankl's union-closed conjecture(FC). We provide an induction proof…

We show that the biggest possible average set size in the complement $2^{\{1,2,\ldots, n\}} \setminus A$ of a union-closed family $A \subset 2^{\{1,2, \ldots, n\}}$ is $\tfrac{n+1}{2}$. With the same proof we get a sharp upper bound for the…

A family of sets is union-closed (UC) if the union of any two sets in the family is also in the family. Frankl's UC sets conjecture states that for any nonempty UC family $\mathcal{F} \subseteq 2^{[n]}$ such that $\mathcal{F} \neq…

The union-closed sets conjecture (sometimes referred to as Frankl's conjecture) states that every finite, nontrivial union-closed family of sets has an element that is in at least half of its members. Although the conjecture is known to be…

In a recent breakthrough, Gilmer proved the union closed conjecture up to a constant factor. Using Gilmer's method and additional ideas, Chase and Lovett proved an optimal result for almost union-closed set systems. Here that result is…

For each given union-closed family F of n elements and m sets, we discuss the union-closed sets conjecture from height number of the UC family, which is a natural parameter from lattice theory. In this paper, we call it height number of…

Frankl's union-closed sets conjecture states that in every finite union-closed set of sets, there is an element that is contained in at least half of the member-sets (provided there are at least two members). The conjecture has an…

A family of sets F is said to be union-closed if A \cup B is in F for every A and B in F. Frankl's conjecture states that given any finite union-closed family of sets, not all empty, there exists an element contained in at least half of the…
