Two families $\mathcal A\subseteq\binom{[n]}{k}$ and $\mathcal B\subseteq\binom{[n]}{\ell}$ are called cross-$t$-intersecting if $|A\cap B|\geq t$ for all $A\in\mathcal A$, $B\in\mathcal B$. Let $n$, $k$ and $\ell$ be positive integers such…

Two families $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ of sets are said to be cross-intersecting if each member of $\mathcal{A}$ intersects each member of $\mathcal{B}$. For any two integers $n$ and $k$ with $0 \leq k \leq n$, let ${[n] \choose \leq…

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…

Let $ n\geqslant t\geqslant 1$ and $ \mathcal{A}_1, \mathcal{A}_2, \ldots, \mathcal{A}_m \subseteq 2^{[n]}$ be non-empty families. We say that they are pairwise cross $t$-intersecting if $|A_i\cap A_j|\geqslant t$ holds for any $A_i\in…

A set of sets is called a family. Two families $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ of sets are said to be cross-intersecting if each member of $\mathcal{A}$ intersects each member of $\mathcal{B}$. For any two integers $n$ and $k$ with $1 \leq…

Two families $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ of sets are called cross-intersecting if each pair of sets $A\in \mathcal{A}$ and $B\in \mathcal{B}$ has nonempty intersection. Let $\cal{A}$ and ${\cal B}$ be two cross-intersecting families of…

In this paper we study a question related to the classical Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado theorem, which states that any family of $k$-element subsets of the set $[n] = \{1,\ldots,n\}$ in which any two sets intersect, has cardinality at most…

Two families $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$, of $k$-subsets of an $n$-set, are {\em cross $t$-intersecting} if for every choice of subsets $A \in \mathcal{A}$ and $B \in \mathcal{B}$ we have $|A \cap B| \geq t$. We address the following…

We call a family $\mathcal{F}$ $(3,2,\ell)$-intersecting if $|A \cap B|+|B \cap C|+|C \cap A| \geq \ell$ for all $A$, $B$, $C \in \mathcal{F}$. We try to look for the maximum size of such a family $\mathcal{F}$ in case when $\mathcal{F}…
