Ever since the famous Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado theorem initiated the study of intersecting families of subsets, extremal problems regarding intersecting properties of families of various combinatorial objects have been extensively investigated.…

Two families $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$, of $k$-subsets of an $n$-set, are {\em cross $t$-intersecting} if for every choice of subsets $A \in \mathcal{A}$ and $B \in \mathcal{B}$ we have $|A \cap B| \geq t$. We address the following…

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…

The matching number of a family of subsets of an $n$-element set is the maximum number of pairwise disjoint sets. The families with matching number $1$ are called intersecting. The famous Erd\H os-Ko-Rado theorem determines the size of the…

Let M be a subset of {0, .., n} and F be a family of subsets of an n element set such that the size of A intersection B is in M for every A, B in F. Suppose that l is the maximum number of consecutive integers contained in M and n is…

A family of subsets of $[n]$ is intersecting if every pair of its sets intersects. Determining the structure of large intersecting families is a central problem in extremal combinatorics. Frankl-Kupavskii and Balogh-Das-Liu-Sharifzadeh-Tran…

We study $t$-intersecting and $t$-cross-intersecting families of $k$-dimensional subspaces in finite vector spaces of dimension $n$. We show that all large $t$-intersecting families admit a governing low-dimensional structure for $n \ge…

Paul Erd\H{o}s and L\'aszl\'o Lov\'asz established that any \emph{maximal intersecting family of $k-$sets} has at most $k^{k}$ blocks. They introduced the problem of finding the maximum possible number of blocks in such a family. They also…

Let $\mathcal{F}\subseteq \binom{[n]}{r}$ be an intersecting family of sets and let $\Delta(\mathcal{F})$ be the maximum degree in $\mathcal{F}$, i.e., the maximum number of edges of $\mathcal{F}$ containing a fixed vertex. The…

Let $k, r, n \geq 1$ be integers, and let $\S_{n, k, r}$ be the family of $r$-signed $k$-sets on $[n] = \{1, \dots, n\}$ given by $$ \mathcal{S}_{n, k, r} = \Big\{\{(x_1, a_1), \dots, (x_k, a_k)\}: \{x_1, \dots, x_k\} \in \binom{[n]}{k},…

The families $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ are cross intersecting if $A\cap B\ne \emptyset$ for any $A\in \mathcal{A}$ and $B\in \mathcal{B}$. Let $t\geq 2$ and $k_1\geq k_2\geq \cdots \geq k_t$. We say that $(\mathcal{F}_1, \dots,…

In this paper we study a question related to the classical Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado theorem, which states that any family of $k$-element subsets of the set $[n] = \{1,\ldots,n\}$ in which any two sets intersect, has cardinality at most…

Set systems with strongly restricted intersections, called $\alpha$-intersecting families for a vector $\alpha$, were introduced recently as a generalization of several well-studied intersecting families including the classical oddtown and…

A set system F is intersecting if any pair of sets in F have a nonempty intersection. A fundamental theorem of Erd\H{o}s, Ko and Rado states that if F is an intersecting family of r-subsets of [n]={1,...,n}, and n>= 2r, then the cardinality…

We consider families, $\mathcal{F}$ of $k$-subsets of an $n$-set. For integers $r\geq 2$, $t\geq 1$, $\mathcal{F}$ is called $r$-wise $t$-intersecting if any $r$ of its members have at least $t$ elements in common. The most natural…

We investigate the product measures of intersection problems in extremal combinatorics. Invoking a recent result of He--Li--Wu--Zhang, we prove that for any $ n \geq t \geq 3$ and $ p_1, p_2 \in (0, \frac{1}{t+1})$, if $ \mathcal{F}_1,…
