A family $mathcal F$ has covering number $tau$ if the size of the smallest set intersecting all sets from $mathcal F$ is equal to $s$. Let $m(n,k,tau)$ stand for the size of the largest intersecting family $mathcal F$ of $k$-element subsets of ${1,ldots,n}$ with covering number $tau$. It is a classical result of ErdH os and Lovasz that $m(n,k,k)le k^k$ for any $n$. In this short note, we explore the behaviour of $m(n,k,tau)$ for $n<k^2$ and large $tau$. The results are quite surprising: For example, we show that $m(k^{3/2},k,tau) = (1-o(1)){n-1choose k-1}$ for $taule k-k^{3/4+o(1)}$. At the same time, $m(k^{3/2},k,tau)<e^{-ck^{1/2}}{nchoose k}$ if $tau>k-frac 12k^{1/2}$.
For a family $mathcal F$, let $mathcal D(mathcal F)$ stand for the family of all sets that can be expressed as $Fsetminus G$, where $F,Gin mathcal F$. A family $mathcal F$ is intersecting if any two sets from the family have non-empty intersection. I
Let $mathcal{F}$ and $mathcal{G}$ be two $t$-uniform families of subsets over $[k] = {1,2,...,k}$, where $|mathcal{F}| = |mathcal{G}|$, and let $C$ be the adjacency matrix of the bipartite graph whose vertices are the subsets in $mathcal{F}$ and $mat
Let $r(k)$ denote the maximum number of edges in a $k$-uniform intersecting family with covering number $k$. ErdH{o}s and Lovasz proved that $ lfloor k! (e-1) rfloor leq r(k) leq k^k.$ Frankl, Ota, and Tokushige improved the lower bound to $r(k) geq
For positive integers $n,r,k$ with $nge r$ and $kge2$, a set ${(x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2),dots,(x_r,y_r)}$ is called a $k$-signed $r$-set on $[n]$ if $x_1,dots,x_r$ are distinct elements of $[n]$ and $y_1dots,y_rin[k]$. We say a $t$-intersecting family cons
A family of sets is said to be emph{symmetric} if its automorphism group is transitive, and emph{intersecting} if any two sets in the family have nonempty intersection. Our purpose here is to study the following question: for $n, kin mathbb{N}$ with
