Abstract
The Galvin problem asks for the minimum size of a family with the property that, for any set of size , there is a set which is balanced on , meaning that . We consider a generalization of this question that comes from a possible approach in complexity theory. In the generalization the required property is, for any , to be able to find sets from a family that form a partition of and such that each part is balanced on . We construct such families of size polynomial in the parameters and .
