Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

A collection F of sets is k-independent if for any selections A, B of k1 and k2 of its members with k1+k2=k, there are elements in all the members of A and not in the members of B. Bounds on the maximal size of k-independent families exponential in the total number of elements are obtained.
