Let $[n]:=\lbrace 1,2,\ldots,n \rbrace$, and $M$ be a set of positive integers. Denote the family of all subsets of $[n]$ with sizes in $M$ by $\binom{\left[n\right]}{M}$. The non-empty families…

A family $\mathcal{F}$ of subsets of $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ is called a $t$-intersecting family if $|F\cap G| \geq t$ for any two members $F, G \in \mathcal{F}$ and for some positive integer $t$. If $t=1$, then we call the family $\mathcal{F}$…

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

A set of sets is called a family. Two families $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ of sets are said to be cross-intersecting if each member of $\mathcal{A}$ intersects each member of $\mathcal{B}$. For any two integers $n$ and $k$ with $1 \leq…

Let $G$ be a group. The intersection graph $\Gamma(G)$ of $G$ is an undirected graph without loops and multiple edges defined as follows: the vertex set is the set of all proper non-trivial subgroups of $G$, and there is an edge between two…

We study the intersection of finitely generated subgroups of free groups by utilizing the method of linear programming. We prove that if $H_1$ is a finitely generated subgroup of a free group $F$, then the WN-coefficient $\sigma(H_1)$ of…

Let $k$, $t$ and $m$ be positive integers. A $k$-multiset of $[m]$ is a collection of $k$ integers from the set $\{1,...,m\}$ in which the integers can appear more than once. We use graph homomorphisms and existing theorems for intersecting…

Let $G\leqslant\mathrm{Sym}(\Omega)$ be transitive, and let $S$ be an intersecting subset, namely, the ratio $xy^{-1}$ of any elements $x,y\in S$ fixes some point. An EKR-type problem is to characterize transitive groups…

A family $\mathcal{A}$ of sets is said to be \emph{$t$-intersecting} if any two sets in $\mathcal{A}$ have at least $t$ common elements. A central problem in extremal set theory is to determine the size or structure of a largest…

For a family of sets $\mathcal{F}$, let $\omega(\mathcal{F}):=\sum_{\{A,B\}\subset \mathcal{F}}|A\cap B|$. In this paper, we prove that provided $n$ is sufficiently large, for any $\mathcal{F}\subset \binom{[n]}{k}$ with $|\mathcal{F}|=m$,…

For a permutation group $G$ acting on a set $V$, a subset $\mathcal{F}$ of $G$ is said to be an intersecting set if for every pair of elements $g,h\in \mathcal{F}$ there exists $v \in V$ such that $g(v) = h(v)$. The intersection density…

For a permutation group $G$ acting on a set $V$, a subset $I$ of $G$ is said to be an intersecting set if for every pair of elements $g,h\in I$ there exists $v \in V$ such that $g(v) = h(v)$. The intersection density $\rho(G)$ of a…

In this paper, we set $\eta (G)$ to be the number of conjugacy classes of maximal cyclic subgroups of $G$. We consider $\eta$ and direct and semi-direct products. We characterize the normal subgroups $N$ so that $\eta (G/N) = \eta (G)$. We…

Let $\cal F$ be a class of groups. A chief factor $H/K$ of a group $G$ is called \emph{${\cal F}$-central in $G$} provided $(H/K)\rtimes (G/C_{G}(H/K)) \in {\cal F}$. We write $Z_{\pi{\cal F}}(G)$ to denote the product of all normal…

Let $\omega(\mathcal{F})=\sum_{\{A,B\}\subset\mathcal{F}}|A\cap B|$ and $\omega(\mathcal{A},\mathcal{B})=\sum_{(A,B)\in \mathcal{A}\times \mathcal{B}}|A\cap B|$. A family $\mathcal{F}$ is intersecting if $F_1\cap F_2\neq \emptyset$ for any…

Two families $\mathcal{F}$ and $\mathcal{G}$ of $k$-subsets of an $n$-set are called $s$-almost cross-$t$-intersecting if each member in $\mathcal{F}$ (resp. $\mathcal{G}$) is $t$-disjoint with at most $s$ members in $\mathcal{G}$ (resp.…

The residual closure of a subgroup $H$ of a group $G$ is the intersection of all virtually normal subgroups of $G$ containing $H$. We show that if $G$ is generated by finitely many cosets of $H$ and if $H$ is commensurated, then the…

Let $\mathcal{A}\subseteq{[n]\choose a}$ and $\mathcal{B}\subseteq{[n]\choose b}$ be two families of subsets of $[n]$, we say $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ are cross-intersecting if $A\cap B\neq \emptyset$ for all $A\in\mathcal{A}$,…

We show that, there exists a constant $a$ such that, for every subgroup $H$ of a finite group $G$, the number of maximal subgroups of $G$ containing $H$ is bounded above by $a|G:H|^{3/2}$. In particular, a transitive permutation group of…

A family $F$ of graphs on a fixed set of $n$ vertices is called triangle-intersecting if for any $G_1,G_2 \in F$, the intersection $G_1 \cap G_2$ contains a triangle. More generally, for a fixed graph $H$, a family $F$ is $H$-intersecting…
