On families with bounded matching number

Peter Frankl and Jian Wang

Vol. 12 (2023), No. 3, 197–222
Abstract

Let e(n,s) denote the maximum size of a family of subsets of an n-set without s pairwise disjoint members. The problem of determining e(n,s) was raised by Erdős more than half a century ago. Nevertheless except for the residue classes n 0,1,2(mods) the exact value of e(n,s) is largely unknown. In the present paper e(2s + r,s) is determined for most values of 1 r s (see Theorems 1.8 and 1.9). The extremal families are so-called threshold families (see Definition 1.4).
