Generalizing the notion of a tight almost disjoint family, we introduce the notions of a {\em tight eventually different} family of functions in Baire space and a {\em tight eventually different set of permutations} of $\omega$. Such sets…

A perfect matching in the complete graph on $2k$ vertices is a set of edges such that no two edges have a vertex in common and every vertex is covered exactly once. Two perfect matchings are said to be $t$-intersecting if they have at least…

The Steiner diameter $sdiam_k(G)$ of a graph $G$, introduced by Chartrand, Oellermann, Tian and Zou in 1989, is a natural generalization of the concept of classical diameter. When $k=2$, $sdiam_2(G)=diam(G)$ is the classical diameter. The…

A set of permutations of $\{1,2,\dots,n\}$ is $t$-intersecting if any two permutations agree on at least $t$ inputs. A recent work by Kupavskii, in the spirit of the Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado Theorem, shows that for all $t\leq…

Two families $\mathcal{F}$ and $\mathcal{G}$ are cross-intersecting if every set in $\mathcal{F}$ intersects every set in $\mathcal{G}$. The covering number $\tau(\mathcal{F})$ of a family $\mathcal{F}$ is the minimum size of a set that…

Given a family $S$ of $k$--subsets of $[n]$, its lower shadow $\Delta(S)$ is the family of $(k-1)$--subsets which are contained in at least one set in $S$. The celebrated Kruskal--Katona theorem gives the minimum cardinality of $\Delta(S)$…

The Frankl conjecture, also known as the union-closed sets conjecture, states that in any finite non-empty union-closed family, there exists an element in at least half of the sets. Let $f(n,a)$ be the maximum number of sets in a…

The stable marriage problem with ties is a well-studied and interesting problem in game theory. We are given a set of men and a set of women. Each individual has a preference ordering on the opposite group, which can possibly contain ties.…

For an integer $r \ge 3$ and a subset $L \subset [0,r-1]$, a graph $G$ is $(K_{r}, L)$-intersecting if the number of vertices in the intersection of every pair of $K_r$ in $G$ belongs to $L$. We study the maximum number of $K_r$ in an…

A family of sets is intersecting if every pair of its members has an element in common. Such a family of sets is called a star if some element is in every set of the family. Given a graph $G$, let $\mu(G)$ denote the size of the smallest…

A family of perfect matchings of $K_{2n}$ is $t$-$intersecting$ if any two members share $t$ or more edges. We prove for any $t \in \mathbb{N}$ that every $t$-intersecting family of perfect matchings has size no greater than $(2(n-t) -…

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…

A famous conjecture of Erd\H{o}s asserts that for $k\ge 3$, the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex $k$-uniform hypergraph without $s+1$ pairwise disjoint edges is $\max\{\binom{n}{k}-\binom{n-s}{k},\binom{sk+k-1}{k}\}$. This problem…
