I am interesting in the sunflower system and its applications in computer science. Given a Universe $U$ and a collection of $k$ sets $A_i$ is called a k-sunflower system if $A_i \cap A_j = Y $ for ...

Let $\left[ n \right]=\{{1,2,\cdots,n\}}$ and call a family $\mathcal{F} \subset 2^{\left[n\right]}$ partition-free if it does not contain any partition of $\left[n\right]$. A recent question asked ...

Every union closed family $\mathcal{F}$, $\emptyset \notin \mathcal{F}$, with $|\mathcal{F}| = n$ sets, must have at least $\frac{2}{3}\binom{n}{2}$ unordered couples of sets with at least one element ...

If I'm not wrong, it is easy to prove the following statement: If $n \leq 4$ is a natural number, if $\mathcal{F}$ is a union-closed family of non-empty sets, if the universe of $\mathcal{F}$ (i.e. ...
