Characterizing maximal shifted intersecting set systems and short injective proofs of the Erdős–Ko–Rado and Hilton–Milner theorems

Nguyen Trong Tuan and Nguyen Anh Thi

Vol. 12 (2023), No. 1, 89–96
Abstract

We give a canonical partition of shifted intersecting set systems, from which one can obtain unified and elementary proofs of the Erdős–Ko–Rado and Hilton–Milner theorems, as well as a characterization of maximal shifted k-uniform intersecting set systems over a set of n elements.

Keywords
shifted intersecting set systems, $k$-uniform, Erdős–Ko–Rado theorem, Hilton–Milner theorem
