The Width of Downsets

Dwight Duffus, David Howard, Imre Leader

How large an antichain can we find inside a given downset in the lattice of subsets of [n]? Sperner's theorem asserts that the largest antichain in the whole lattice has size the b…

Large rainbow matchings in general graphs

Ron Aharoni, Eli Berger, Maria Chudnovsky +2

By a theorem of Drisko, any matchings of size in a bipartite graph have a partial rainbow matching of size . Inspired by discussion of Barát, Gyárfás and Sárközy, we…

Dimension of posets with planar cover graphs excluding two long incomparable chains

David M. Howard, Noah Streib, William T. Trotter +2

It has been known for more than 40 years that there are posets with planar cover graphs and arbitrarily large dimension. Recently, Streib and Trotter proved that such posets must h…

A rainbow -partite version of the Erdős-Ko-Rado theorem

Ron Aharoni, David Howard

Let be the minimal number such that every hypergraph larger than contained in contains a matching of size , and let be the mini…

Cross-intersecting pairs of hypergraphs

Ron Aharoni, David Howard

Two hypergraphs are called {\em cross-intersecting} if for every pair of edges . Each of the hypergraphs is then…

On a Generalization of the Ryser-Brualdi-Stein Conjecture

Ron Aharoni, Pierre Charbit, David Howard

A rainbow matching for (not necessarily distinct) sets F_1,...,F_k of hypergraph edges is a matching consisting of k edges, one from each F_i. The aim of the paper is twofold - to…
