Aug 22, 2015 at 13:28 comment added Xi Wu Actually I should ask the question for $2$ chunks, there is an off-by-$1$ error... apologies.
Aug 22, 2015 at 13:23 comment added Xi Wu Yes a chunk can be empty. And yes $\beta < 1/3$ (otherwise it cannot pack $F_1, F_2, F_3$ inside.
Aug 22, 2015 at 13:15 comment added Zack Wolske Can the chunks be empty? If not, what do you intend for $t=1$ or $2$? I think $\beta$ should be less than $1/3$, otherwise you won't find three disjoint sets of size at least $\beta\ell$ in a set of size $\ell$. Do you know of such a construction for 2 subsets and 2 chunks?
