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…

We say that a set $A$ \emph{$t$-intersects} a set $B$ if $A$ and $B$ have at least $t$ common elements. A family $\mathcal{A}$ of sets is said to be \emph{$t$-intersecting} if each set in $\mathcal{A}$ $t$-intersects any other set in…

A set $A$ $t$-intersects a set $B$ if $A$ and $B$ have at least $t$ common elements. A set of sets is called a family. Two families $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ are cross-$t$-intersecting if each set in $\mathcal{A}$ $t$-intersects each…

A family $\mathcal{F}$ of $k$-subsets of an $n$-set is called $s$-almost $t$-intersecting if each member is $t$-disjoint with at most $s$ members. In this paper, we prove that, if $\left|\mathcal{F}\right|$ is maximum, then $\mathcal{F}$…

A set $A$ $t$-intersects a set $B$ if $A$ and $B$ have at least $t$ common elements. Families $\mathcal{A}_1, \mathcal{A}_2, \dots, \mathcal{A}_k$ of sets are cross-$t$-intersecting if, for every $i$ and $j$ in $\{1, 2, \dots, k\}$ with $i…

In the first part of this paper, we prove a theorem which is the $q$-analogue of a generalized modular Ray-Chaudhuri-Wilson Theorem shown in [Alon, Babai, Suzuki, J. Combin. Theory Series A, 1991]. It is also a generalization of the main…

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 $A\in\mathcal{A}$,…

Let $V$ be an $(n+\ell)$-dimensional vector space over a finite field, and $W$ a fixed $\ell$-dimensional subspace of $V$. Write ${V\brack n,0}$ to be the set of all $n$-dimensional subspaces $U$ of $V$ satisfying $\dim(U\cap W)=0$. A…

Denote the collection of all $k$-flats in $AG(n,\mathbb{F}_q)$ by $\mathscr{M}(k,n)$. Let $\mathscr{F}_1\subset\mathscr{M}(k_1,n)$ and $\mathscr{F}_2\subset\mathscr{M}(k_2,n)$ satisfy $\dim(F_1\cap F_2)\ge t$ for any $F_1\in\mathscr{F}_1$…

Let $\mathcal T_n$ denote the set of all labelled spanning trees of $K_n$. A family $\mathcal F \subset \mathcal T_n$ is $t$-intersecting if for all $A, B \in \mathcal F$ the trees $A$ and $B$ share at least $t$ edges. In this paper, we…

A family $\mathcal{F}$ of subsets of a set $X$ is $t$-intersecting if $\vert A_i \cap A_j \vert \geq t$ for every $A_i, \; A_j \in \mathcal{F}$. We study intersecting families in the Hamming geometry. Given $X=\mathbb{F}_q^3$ a vector space…

We call $(a_1, \dots, a_n)$ an \emph{$r$-partial sequence} if exactly $r$ of its entries are positive integers and the rest are all zero. For ${\bf c} = (c_1, \dots, c_n)$ with $1 \leq c_1 \leq \dots \leq c_n$, let $S_{\bf c}^{(r)}$ be the…

In this paper, we address several intersection problems for $r$-cross $t$-intersecting families of partitions. A $k$-partition of an $n$-set $X$ is a set of $k$ pairwise disjoint non-empty subsets whose union is $X$. For $1\leq i\leq r$,…

Two families $\mathcal{F}$ and $\mathcal{G}$ are called cross-intersecting if for every $F\in \mathcal{F}$ and $G\in \mathcal{G}$, the intersection $F\cap G$ is non-empty. For any positive integers $n$ and $k$, let $\binom{[n]}{k}$ denote…

Given a point set $S$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$, a family of sets is $S$-intersecting if its members have a point in common in $S$. Recently, Edwards and Sober\'{o}n proved a fractional version of Halman's theorem for axis-parallel boxes, showing…
