Abstract

Let us write DF(G) = {F ∈ F: F ∩ G = φ} for a set G and a family F. Then a family F of sets is said to be (≤ l)-almost intersecting (l-almost intersecting) if for any F ∈ F we have |D F(F)| ≤ l (|DF(F)| = l). In this paper we investigate the problem of finding the maximum size of an (≤ l)-almost intersecting (l-almost intersecting) family F.
