Let $\{(A_i,B_i)\}_{i=1}^m$ be a set pair system. F\"{u}redi, Gy\'{a}rf\'{a}s and Kir\'{a}ly called it {\em $1$-cross intersecting} if $|A_i\cap B_j|$ is $1$ when $i\neq j$ and $0$ if $i=j$. They studied such systems and their…

A well-known result of Bollob\'as says that if $\{(A_i, B_i)\}_{i=1}^m$ is a set pair system such that $|A_i| \le a$ and $|B_i| \le b$ for $1 \le i \le m$, and $A_i \cap B_j \ne \emptyset$ if and only if $i \ne j$, then $m \le {a+b \choose…

The problem of bounding the size of a set system under various intersection restrictions has a central place in extremal combinatorics. We investigate the maximum number of disjoint pairs a set system can have in this setting. In…

A skew Bollob\'{a}s system $\mathcal{P}=\{(A_i,B_i):1\leq i\leq m\}$ is a collection of pairs of disjoint subsets of $[n]$ such that $A_i\cap B_j\ne\emptyset$ for any $1\leq i<j\leq m$. Denote by $S_1(a, b)$ or $S_2(a, b)$ the maximum size…

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 $0 \leq k \leq n$, let ${[n] \choose \leq…

Let $X$ be an $n$-element set. A set-pair system $\mbox{$\cal P$}=\{(A_i,B_i)\}_{1\leq i\leq m}$ is a collection of pairs of disjoint subsets of $X$. It is called skew Bollob\'as system if $A_i\cap B_j\neq \emptyset$ for all $1\leq i<j \leq…

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,…

Let $ n\geqslant t\geqslant 1$ and $ \mathcal{A}_1, \mathcal{A}_2, \ldots, \mathcal{A}_m \subseteq 2^{[n]}$ be non-empty families. We say that they are pairwise cross $t$-intersecting if $|A_i\cap A_j|\geqslant t$ holds for any $A_i\in…

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 $\{(A_i,B_i)\}_{i=1}^{m}$ be a collection of pairs of sets with $|A_i|=a$ and $|B_i|=b$ for $1\leq i\leq m$. Suppose that $A_i\cap B_j=\emptyset$ if and only if $i=j$, then by the famous Bollob\'{a}s theorem, we have the size of this…

A family of sets is said to be intersecting if every pair of sets in the family have non-empty intersection. In this paper, we initiate the study of intersecting non-uniform families of sets of one of two sizes containing given subfamilies.…

Three intersection theorems are proved. First, we determine the size of the largest set system, where the system of the pairwise unions is l-intersecting. Then we investigate set systems where the union of any s sets intersect the union of…

The Bollob\'as set pairs inequality is a fundamental result in extremal set theory with many applications. In this paper, for $n \geq k \geq t \geq 2$, we consider a collection of $k$ families $\mathcal{A}_i: 1 \leq i \leq k$ where…

Two hypergraphs $H_1,\ H_2$ are called {\em cross-intersecting} if $e_1 \cap e_2 \neq \emptyset$ for every pair of edges $e_1 \in H_1,~e_2 \in H_2$. Each of the hypergraphs is then said to {\em block} the other. Given parameters $n,r,m$ we…

In 1965, Bollob\'as proved that for a Bollob\'as set-pair system $\{(A_i,B_i)\mid i\in[m]\}$, the maximum value of $\sum_{i=1}^m\binom{|A_i|+|B_i|}{A_i}^{-1}$ is $1$. Heged\"{u}s and Frankl recently extended the concept of Bollob\'as…
