Let $n$, $r$, and $k$ be positive integers such that $k, r \geq 2$, $L$ a non-empty subset of $[k]$, and $\mathcal{F}_i \subseteq \binom{[n]}{k}$ for $1 \leq i \leq r$. We say that non-empty families $\mathcal{F}_1, \mathcal{F}_2, \ldots,…

Two families $\mathcal{F}$ and $\mathcal{G}$ of $k$-subsets of an $n$-set are called $s$-almost cross-$t$-intersecting if each member in $\mathcal{F}$ (resp. $\mathcal{G}$) is $t$-disjoint with at most $s$ members in $\mathcal{G}$ (resp.…

For a family $\mathcal F$, let $\mathcal D(\mathcal F)$ stand for the family of all sets that can be expressed as $F\setminus G$, where $F,G\in \mathcal F$. A family $\mathcal F$ is intersecting if any two sets from the family have…

We prove that if two families $\mathcal{F} \subseteq \binom{[n]}{k}$ and $\mathcal{F}' \subseteq \binom{[n]}{k'}$ satisfy $\sum_{1 \leq i, j \leq \ell} \lvert F_i \cap F_j' \rvert \geq \ell^2t - \ell +1$ for every choice of distinct $F_1,…

We say that a family of $k$-subsets of an $n$-element set is intersecting if any two of its sets intersect. In this paper we study properties and structure of large intersecting families. We prove a conclusive version of Frankl's theorem on…

This paper resolves two open problems in extremal set theory. For a family $\mathcal{F} \subseteq 2^{[n]}$ and $i, j\in [n]$, we denote $\mathcal{F} (i,\bar{j})=\{F\backslash\{i\}: F\in \mathcal{F}, F\cap\{i,j\}=\{i\}\}$. The sturdiness…

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…

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

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…

Two families $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ are cross-intersecting if $A\cap B\ne \emptyset$ for any $A\in \mathcal{A}$ and $B\in \mathcal{B}$. We call $t$ families $\mathcal{A}_1, \mathcal{A}_2,\dots, \mathcal{A}_t$ pairwise…

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

A family of sets is said to be \emph{intersecting} if any two sets in the family have nonempty intersection. In 1973, Erd\H{o}s raised the problem of determining the maximum possible size of a union of $r$ different intersecting families of…

Two families $\mathcal{F},\mathcal{G}$ of $k$-subsets of $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ are called 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…

Let $2^{[n]}$ and $\binom{[n]}{i}$ be the power set and the class of all $i$-subsets of $\{1,2,\cdots,n\}$, respectively. We call two families $\mathscr{A}$ and $\mathscr{B}$ cross-intersecting if $A\cap B\neq \emptyset$ for any $A\in…

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 $\mathcal{F}\subset \binom{[n]}{k}$ is called an intersecting family if $F\cap F'\neq \emptyset$ for all $F,F'\in \mathcal{F}$. If $\cap \mathcal{F}\neq \emptyset$ then $\mathcal{F}$ is called a star. The diversity of an…

Let $\omega(\mathcal{F})=\sum_{\{A,B\}\subset\mathcal{F}}|A\cap B|$ and $\omega(\mathcal{A},\mathcal{B})=\sum_{(A,B)\in \mathcal{A}\times \mathcal{B}}|A\cap B|$. A family $\mathcal{F}$ is intersecting if $F_1\cap F_2\neq \emptyset$ for any…

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…

Let $k\ge d\ge 3$ be fixed. Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a $k$-uniform family on $[n]$. Then $\mathcal{F}$ is $(d,s)$-conditionally intersecting if it does not contain $d$ sets with union of size at most $s$ and empty intersection. Answering a…

Given integers $r\geq 2$ and $n,t\geq 1$ we call families $\mathcal{F}_1,\dots,\mathcal{F}_r\subseteq\mathscr{P}([n])$ $r$-cross $t$-intersecting if for all $F_i\in\mathcal{F}_i$, $i\in[r]$, we have $\vert\bigcap_{i\in[r]}F_i\vert\geq t$.…
