A $(k,\ell)$-partition is a set partition which has $\ell$ blocks each of size $k$. Two uniform set partitions $P$ and $Q$ are said to be partially $t$-intersecting if there exist blocks $P_{i}$ in $P$ and $Q_{j}$ in $Q$ such that $\left|…

A $k\ell$-subset partition, or $(k,\ell)$-subpartition, is a $k\ell$-subset of an $n$-set that is partitioned into $\ell$ distinct classes, each of size $k$. Two $(k,\ell)$-subpartitions are said to $t$-intersect if they have at least $t$…

The matching number of a family of subsets of an $n$-element set is the maximum number of pairwise disjoint sets. The families with matching number $1$ are called intersecting. The famous Erd\H os-Ko-Rado theorem determines the size of the…

The study of intersection problems in Extremal Combinatorics dates back perhaps to 1938, when Paul Erd\H{o}s, Chao Ko and Richard Rado proved the (first) `Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado theorem' on the maximum possible size of an intersecting family of…

We develop a new approach to approximate families of sets, complementing the existing `$\Delta$-system method' and `junta approximations method'. The approach, which we refer to as `spread approximations method', is based on the notion of…

A set partition is $c$-uniform if every block has size $c$. Two families of $c$-uniform partitions of a finite set are said to be cross $t$-intersecting if two partitions from different families share at least $t$ blocks. In this paper, we…

A family $\mathcal{F}$ of spanning trees of the complete graph on $n$ vertices $K_n$ is \emph{$t$-intersecting} if any two members have a forest on $t$ edges in common. We prove an Erd\H{o}s--Ko--Rado result for $t$-intersecting families of…

This paper establishes an analog of the Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado theorem to polynomial rings over finite fields, affirmatively answering a conjecture of C. Tompkins. A $k$-uniform family of subsets of a set of finite size $n$ is $l$-intersecting…

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…

In this paper we study two directions of extending the classical Erd\H os-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…

In this note, we give short proofs of three theorems about intersection problems. The first one is a determination of the maximum size of a nontrivial $k$-uniform, $d$-wise intersecting family for $n\ge \left(1+\frac{d}{2}\right)(k-d+2)$,…

A $k$-partition of an $n$-set $X$ is a collection of $k$ pairwise disjoint non-empty subsets whose union is $X$. A family of $k$-partitions of $X$ is called $t$-intersecting if any two of its members share at least $t$ blocks. A…

We give simpler algebraic proofs of uniqueness for several Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado results, i.e., that the canonically intersecting families are the only largest intersecting families. Using these techniques, we characterize the largest partially…

The classical Erd\H os-Ko-Rado (EKR) Theorem states that if we choose a family of subsets, each of size (k), from a fixed set of size (n (n > 2k)), then the largest possible pairwise intersecting family has size (t ={n-1\choose k-1}). We…

If a family $\mathcal{F}$ of $k$-element subsets of an $n$-element set is pairwise intersecting, $2k\leq n$ then $|\mathcal{F}|\leq {n-1\choose k-1}$ holds by the celebrated Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado theorem. But an intersecting family obviously…

In this paper, we address several intersection problems for $r$-cross $t$-intersecting families of partitions. A $k$-partition of an $n$-set $X$ is a set of $k$ pairwise disjoint non-empty subsets whose union is $X$. For $1\leq i\leq r$,…

The celebrated Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado theorem shows that for $n \ge 2k$ the largest intersecting $k$-uniform set family on $[n]$ has size $\binom{n-1}{k-1}$. It is natural to ask how far from intersecting larger set families must be. Katona,…

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…

There are many generalizations of the Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado theorem. We give new results (and problems) concerning families of $t$-intersecting $k$-element multisets of an $n$-set and point out connections to coding theory and classical…

The celebrated {Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado} Theorem states that for $n \geq 2k$ a family $\mathscr{F}$ of $k$ subsets of $[n]$ for which each pair of members of $\mathscr{F}$ have a non-empty intersection has size at most $\binom{n-1}{k-1}$ and for…
