A family of permutations $A \subset S_n$ is said to be \emph{$t$-set-intersecting} if for any two permutations $\sigma, \pi \in A$, there exists a $t$-set $x$ whose image is the same under both permutations, i.e. $\sigma(x)=\pi(x)$. We…

Let $k$ and $m$ be positive integers. A collection of $k$-multisets from $\{1,..., m \}$ is intersecting if every pair of multisets from the collection is intersecting. We prove that for $m \geq k+1$, the size of the largest such collection…

For a set of points in the plane, a \emph{crossing family} is a set of line segments, each joining two of the points, such that any two line segments cross. We investigate the following generalization of crossing families: a \emph{spoke…

Two families $\mathcal{F},\mathcal{G}$ of $k$-subsets of $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ are called {\it non-trivial cross-intersecting} if $F\cap G\neq \emptyset$ for all $F\in \mathcal{F}, G\in \mathcal{G}$ and $\cap \{F\colon F\in…

In this paper, we investigate two questions on Kneser graphs $KG_{n,k}$. First, we prove that the union of $s$ intersecting families in ${[n]\choose k}$ has size at most ${n\choose k}-{n-s\choose k}$ for all sufficiently large $n$ that…

Randomness is one of the important key concepts of statistics. In epidemiology or medical science, we investigate our hypotheses and interpret results through this statistical randomness. We hypothesized by imposing some conditions to this…

The celebrated theorem of Ahlswede and Khachatrian determines the maximum size of a family of $k$-element subsets of an $n$-element set where the intersection of any two subsets has at least $r$ elements. This survey first gives a…

We base ourselves on the construction of the two-dimensional random interlacements [12] to define the one-dimensional version of the process. For this constructions we consider simple random walks conditioned on never hitting the origin,…

We consider uniform random permutations drawn from a family enumerated through generating trees. We develop a new general technique to establish a central limit theorem for the number of consecutive occurrences of a fixed pattern in such…

The $t$-intersecting Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado theorem is the following statement: if $\mathcal{F} \subset \binom{[n]}{k}$ is a $t$-intersecting family of sets and $n\ge (t+1)(k-t+1)$, then $|\mathcal{F}| \le \binom{n-t}{k-t}$. The first proof of…

The Euler number $E_n$ (resp. Entringer number $E_{n,k}$) enumerates the alternating (down-up) permutations of $\{1,\dots,n\}$ (resp. starting with $k$). The Springer number $S_n$ (resp. Arnold number $S_{n,k}$) enumerates the type $B$…

Consider the random process that starts with $n$ vertices and no edges, where the edges of $K_n$ are added one at a time in a uniformly chosen random order $e_1, e_2,\ldots, e_{\binom{n}{2}}$. Let $T$ be the earliest time at which $e_1$…

In this paper we study the iterated birth process of which we examine the first-passage time distributions and the hitting probabilities. Furthermore, linear birth processes, linear and sublinear death processes at Poisson times are…

In this article we construct a family of expressions $\varepsilon(n)$. For each element E(n) from $\varepsilon(n)$, the convergence of the series $\sum_{n \ge n_E}{E(n)}$ can be determined in accordance to the theorems of this article. Some…

We consider a natural variant of the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph process in which $k$ vertices are special and are never put into the same connected component. The model is natural and interesting on its own, but is actually inspired by…

A family $\F$ of sets is said to be intersecting if any two sets in $\F$ have nonempty intersection. The celebrated Erd{\H o}s-Ko-Rado theorem determines the size and structure of the largest intersecting family of $k$-sets on an $n$-set…

Cohen and Kontorovich (COLT 2023) initiated the study of what we call here the Binomial Empirical Process: the maximal absolute value of a sequence of inhomogeneous normalized and centered binomials. They almost fully analyzed the case…

Let $\mathcal{F}$ and $\mathcal{G}$ be two $t$-uniform families of subsets over $[k] = \{1,2,...,k\}$, where $|\mathcal{F}| = |\mathcal{G}|$, and let $C$ be the adjacency matrix of the bipartite graph whose vertices are the subsets in…

In 1984, Wilson proved the Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado theorem for $t$-intersecting families of $k$-subsets of an $n$-set: he showed that if $n\ge(t+1)(k-t+1)$ and $\mathcal{F}$ is a family of $k$-subsets of an $n$-set such that any two members of…

A family of permutations $\mathcal{F} \subseteq S_n$ is even-cycle-intersecting if $\sigma \pi^{-1}$ has an even cycle for all $\sigma,\pi \in \mathcal{F}$. We show that if $\mathcal{F} \subseteq S_n$ is an even-cycle-intersecting family of…
