Two families $\mathcal A\subseteq\binom{[n]}{k}$ and $\mathcal B\subseteq\binom{[n]}{\ell}$ are called cross-$t$-intersecting if $|A\cap B|\geq t$ for all $A\in\mathcal A$, $B\in\mathcal B$. Let $n$, $k$ and $\ell$ be positive integers such…

A family of sets is intersecting if every pair of its sets intersect. A star is a family with some element (a center) in each of its sets. The classical 1961 result of Erd\H{o}s, Ko, and Rado states that every intersecting family of r-sets…

To study how balanced or unbalanced a maximal intersecting family $\mathcal{F}\subseteq \binom{[n]}{r}$ is we consider the ratio $\mathcal{R}(\mathcal{F})=\frac{\Delta(\mathcal{F})}{\delta(\mathcal{F})}$ of its maximum and minimum degree.…

We find the formula for the maximal cardinality of the family of $n$-tuples from ${[n]\choose k}$ with does not have $\ell$--matching. This formula after some analytical issues can be reduce to the Erd\"os's Matching formula. Also we prove…

We say that a family of $k$-subsets of an $n$-element set is {\it intersecting}, if any two of its sets intersect. In this paper, we study the structure of large intersecting families. Several years ago, Han and Kohayakawa (Proc. AMS,…

Let $V$ be an $n$-dimensional vector space over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. In this paper we describe the structure of maximal non-trivial $t$-intersecting families of $k$-dimensional subspaces of $V$ with large size. We also determine…

For a family $\mathcal{F}$ of subsets of a finite set, define $\mathcal{D}(\mathcal{F})=\{F\setminus F': F, F'\in\mathcal{F}\}$. A family $\mathcal{F}$ is called intersecting if $F\cap F'\not=\emptyset$ for all $F, F'\in\mathcal{F}$. Frankl…

A subset $Y$ of the general linear group $\operatorname{GL}(n,q)$ is called $t$-intersecting if $\operatorname{rk}(x-y)\le n-t$ for all $x,y\in Y$, or equivalently $x$ and $y$ agree pointwise on a $t$-dimensional subspace of…

Let $\mathscr{F}$ and $\mathscr{G}$ be families of $k$- and $\ell$-dimensional subspaces, respectively, of a given $n$-dimensional vector space over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. Suppose that $x \cap y \ne 0$ for all $x \in \mathscr{F}$…

In this paper, we provide a common generalization to the well-known Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado Theorem, Frankl-Wilson Theorem, Alon-Babai-Suzuki Theorem, and Snevily Theorem on set systems with $\mathcal{L}$-intersections. As a consequence, we…

Let $h=\prod_{i=1}^{t}p_i^{s_i}$ be its decomposition into a product of powers of distinct primes, and $\mathbb{Z}_{h}$ be the residue class ring modulo $h$. Let $\mathbb{Z}_{h}^{n}$ be the $n$-dimensional row vector space over…

Families $\mathcal{A}_1, \mathcal{A}_2, ..., \mathcal{A}_k$ of sets are said to be \emph{cross-intersecting} if for any $i$ and $j$ in $\{1, 2, ..., k\}$ with $i \neq j$, any set in $\mathcal{A}_i$ intersects any set in $\mathcal{A}_j$. For…

For positive integers $n$ and $k$ with $n\geq 2k+1$, the Kneser graph $K(n,k)$ is the graph with vertex set consisting of all $k$-sets of $\{1,\dots,n\}$, where two $k$-sets are adjacent exactly when they are disjoint. The independent sets…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ and $\matchcal{B}$ denote two families of subsets of an $n$-element set. The pair $(\mathcal{A},\mathcal{B})$ is said to be $\ell$-cross-intersecting iff $|A\cap B| = \ell$ for all $A\in\mathcal{A}$ and $B\in\mathcal{B}$.…

Given a graph $G$, let $\mu(G)$ denote the size of the smallest maximal independent set in $G$. A family of subsets is called a star if some element is in every set of the family. A split vertex has degree at least 3. Holroyd and Talbot…

We investigate the combinatorial structure of subspaces of the exterior algebra of a finite-dimensional real vector space, working in parallel with the extremal combinatorics of hypergraphs. Using initial monomials, projections of the…

Let $S_n$ be the symmetric group on $n$ points. Deza and Frankl [M. Deza and P. Frankl, On the maximum number of permutations with given maximal or minimal distance, J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 22 (1977) 352--360] proved that if ${\cal F}$ is…

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…

Let $n > k > 1$ be integers, $[n] = \{1, \ldots, n\}$. Let $\mathcal F$ be a family of $k$-subsets of~$[n]$. The family $\mathcal F$ is called intersecting if $F \cap F' \neq \emptyset$ for all $F, F' \in \mathcal F$. It is called almost…

For integers $n\ge s\ge2$, let $e(n,s)$ denote the maximum size of a family $\F\subseteq2^{[n]}$ with no $s$ pairwise disjoint members. The problem of determining $e(n,s)$, now called the Erd\H{o}s--Kleitman problem, is the non-uniform…
