A union closed family A is a finite family of sets such that the union of any two sets in A is also in A. The conjecture under consideration is Conjecture 1: For every union closed family A, there exists some x contained in at least half the members of A. We study the structure of such families (as

W6jcik, P., Density of union-closed families, Discrete Mathematics 105 (1992) 259-267. Two theorems related to Frankl's conjecture about union-closed families are proved. The first one states how small the sum of degrees in an m-element set may be. Our second result deals with the smallest densities
We use a lower bound on the number of small sets in an idea1 to show that for each unionclosed family of n sets there exists an element which belongs to at least of them, provided n is large enough.
## Abstract We show that under some conditions on a family __A__ β __I__ there exists a subfamily __A__~0~ β __A__ such that βͺ __A__~0~ is nonmeasurable with respect to a fixed ideal __I__ with Borel base of a fixed uncountable Polish space. Our result applies to the classical ideal of null subsets
