A perfect matching of a complete graph $K_{2n}$ is a 1-regular subgraph that contains all the vertices. Two perfect matchings intersect if they share an edge. It is known that if $\mathcal{F}$ is family of intersecting perfect matchings of…

For a family $\mathcal{F}$ of sets and a disjoint pair $A,B$ we let $\mathcal{F}(A,\overline{B})=\{F\in \mathcal{F}: A\subseteq F, ~B\cap F=\emptyset\}$. The \textbf{$(p,q)$-d\"omd\"od\"om} of a family $\mathcal{F}\subseteq 2^{[n]}$ is…

We consider the following generalization of the seminal Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado theorem, due to Frankl. For k>= 2, let F be a k-wise intersecting family of r-subsets of an n element set X, i.e. any k sets in F have a nonempty intersection. If r<=…

A $2k$-matching is a perfect matching of the complete graph on $2k$ vertices. Two $2k$-matchings are defined to be $t$-intersecting if they have at least $t$ edges in common. The main result in this paper is that if $k \geq 3t/2+1$, then…

We consider the Tur\'an-type problem of bounding the size of a set $M \subseteq \mathbb{F}_2^n$ that does not contain a linear copy of a given fixed set $N \subseteq \mathbb{F}_2^k$, where $n$ is large compared to $k$. An Erd\H{o}s-Stone…

A family of permutations (\mathcal{A} \subset S_{n}) is said to be (t)-\textit{intersecting} if any two permutations in (\mathcal{A}) agree on at least (t) points, i.e. for any (\sigma, \pi \in \mathcal{A}), (|\{i \in [n]:…

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…

A classic theorem in combinatorial design theory is Fisher's inequality, which states that a family $\mathcal F$ of subsets of $[n]$ with all pairwise intersections of size $\lambda$ can have at most $n$ non-empty sets. One may weaken the…

We find the formula for the maximal cardinality of the family of $n$-tuples from ${[n]\choose k}$ with does not have $\ell$--matching. This formula after some analytical issues can be reduce to the Erd\"os's Matching formula. Also we prove…

It is a well-known conjecture, sometimes attributed to Frankl, that for any family of sets which is closed under the union operation, there is some element which is contained in at least half of the sets. Gilmer was the first to prove a…

A finite family $\mathcal{F}$ of $d$-dimensional convex polytopes is called $k$-neighborly if $d-k\le\textup{dim}(C\cap C')\le d-1$ for any two distinct members $C,C'\in\mathcal{F}$. In 1997, Alon initiated the study of the general function…

A two-part extension of the famous Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado Theorem is proved. The underlying set is partitioned into $X_1$ and $X_2$. Some positive integers $k_i, \ell_i (1\leq i\leq m)$ are given. We prove that if ${\cal F}$ is an intersecting…

The codegree squared sum ${\rm co}_2(\cal F)$ of a family (hypergraph) $\cal F \subseteq \binom{[n]} k$ is defined to be the sum of codegrees squared $d(E)^2$ over all $E\in \binom{[n]}{k-1}$, where $d(E)=|\{F\in \cal F: E\subseteq F\}|$.…

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…
