Given a family $\mathcal{F}\subset 2^{[n]}$ and $1\leq i\neq j\leq n$, we use $\mathcal{F}(\bar{i},j)$ to denote the family $\{F\setminus \{j\}\colon F\in \mathcal{F},\ F\cap \{i,j\}=\{j\}\}$. The sturdiness of $\mathcal{F}$ is defined as…

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

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 $\mathcal{F}$…

In this short note, we address two problems in extremal set theory regarding intersecting families. The first problem is a question posed by Kupavskii: is it true that given two disjoint cross-intersecting families $\mathcal{A}, \mathcal{B}…

For an integer $d \geq 2$, a family $\mathcal{F}$ of sets is $\textit{$d$-wise intersecting}$ if for any distinct sets $A_1,A_2,\dots,A_d \in \mathcal{F}$, $A_1 \cap A_2 \cap \dots \cap A_d \neq \emptyset$, and $\textit{non-trivial}$ if…

Let $V$ be a finite dimensional vector space over a finite field. Suppose that $\mathscr{F}_1$, $\mathscr{F}_2$, $\dots$, $\mathscr{F}_r$ are $r$-cross $t$-intersecting families of $k$-subspaces of $V$. In this paper, we determine the…

Let $ k, m, n $ be positive integers with $ k \geq 2 $. A $ k $-multiset of $ [n]_m $ is a collection of $ k $ integers from the set $ \{1, 2, \ldots, n\} $ in which the integers can appear more than once but at most $ m $ times. A family…

Two sets $\mathscr{A}$ and $\mathscr{B}$ are said to be cross-intersecting if $X\cap Y\neq\emptyset$ for all $X\in\mathscr{A}$ and $Y\in\mathscr{B}$. Given two cross-intersecting Sperner families (or antichains) $\mathscr{A}$ and…

Let $V$ be an $n$-dimensional vector space over the finite field $\mathbb{F} _{q} $, and ${V\brack k}$ denote the family of all $k$-dimensional subspaces of $V$. The families $\mathcal{F},\mathcal{G}\subseteq {V\brack k}$ are said to be…

A family X of sets is said to be intersecting if any two members of X have non-empty intersection. It is a well-known and simple fact that an intersecting family of subsets of [n]={1,2,...,n} can contain at most 2^(n-1) sets. Katona, Katona…

We say that a family of $k$-subsets of an $n$-element set is {\it intersecting}, if any two of its sets intersect. In this paper, we study the structure of large intersecting families. Several years ago, Han and Kohayakawa (Proc. AMS,…

A family $\mathcal{F}\subset \binom{[n]}{k}$ is called intersecting if $F\cap F'\neq \emptyset$ for all $F,F'\in \mathcal{F}$. The covering number of a family $\mathcal{F}$ is defined as the minimum size of $T\subset [n]$ such that $T\cap…

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…

A family $F$ of sets is said to be $t$-intersecting if $|A \cap B| \geq t$ for any $A,B \in F$. The seminal Complete Intersection Theorem of Ahlswede and Khachatrian (1997) gives the maximal size $f(n,k,t)$ of a $t$-intersecting family of…
