We prove that if a family of compact connected sets in the plane has the property that every three members of it are intersected by a line, then there are three lines intersecting all the sets in the family. This answers a question of Eckhoff from 1993, who proved that, under the same condition, there are four lines intersecting all the sets. In fact, we prove a colorful version of this result, under weakened conditions on the sets. A triple of sets $A,B,C$ in the plane is said to be a {em tight} if $textrm{conv}(Acup B)cap textrm{conv}(Acup C)cap textrm{conv}(Bcap C) eq emptyset.$ This notion was first introduced by Holmsen, where he showed that if $mathcal{F}$ is a family of compact convex sets in the plane in which every three sets form a tight triple, then there is a line intersecting at least $frac{1}{8}|mathcal{F}|$ members of $mathcal{F}$. Here we prove that if $mathcal{F}_1,dots,mathcal{F}_6$ are families of compact connected sets in the plane such that every three sets, chosen from three distinct families $mathcal{F}_i$, form a tight triple, then there exists $1le jle 6$ and three lines intersecting every member of $mathcal{F}_j$. In particular, this improves $frac{1}{8}$ to $frac{1}{3}$ in Holmsens result.
Given a set $F$ of words, one associates to each word $w$ in $F$ an undirected graph, called its extension graph, and which describes the possible extensions of $w$ on the left and on the right. We investigate the family of sets of words defined by t
A family of subsets of $[n]$ is intersecting if every pair of its sets intersects. Determining the structure of large intersecting families is a central problem in extremal combinatorics. Frankl-Kupavskii and Balogh-Das-Liu-Sharifzadeh-Tran independe
A $k$-connected set in an infinite graph, where $k > 0$ is an integer, is a set of vertices such that any two of its subsets of the same size $ell leq k$ can be connected by $ell$ disjoint paths in the whole graph. We characterise the existence of
In finite group theory, studying the prime graph of a group has been an important topic for almost the past half-century. Recently, prime graphs of solvable groups have been characterized in graph theoretical terms only. This now allows the study of
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
