Selecting families and their applications

Deguire and Lassonde [P. Deguire, M. Lassonde, Familles sélectantes, Topol. Methods Nonlinear Anal. 5 (1995) 261–269] extend the concept of continuous selection and introduce the notion of selecting family for a family of set-valued mappings. In this paper, we first establish a new existence theorem of selecting families. The existence of the selecting families will be then used in order to obt...

Cross-intersecting sub-families of hereditary families

Families A1,A2, . . . ,Ak of sets are said to be cross-intersecting if for any i and j in {1, 2, . . . , k} with i 6= j, any set in Ai intersects any set in Aj . For a nite set X, let 2X denote the power set of X (the family of all subsets of X). A family H is said to be hereditary if all subsets of any set in H are in H; so H is hereditary if and only if it is a union of power sets. We conject...
