Erdos and Rado defined a A-system, as a family in which every two members have the same intersection. Here we obtain a new upper bound on the maximum cardinality q ( n , q ) of an n-uniform family not containing any A-system of cardinality q. Namely, we prove that, for any a > 1 and q , there exists

A family of r sets is called a 2-system if any two sets have the same intersection. Denote by F(n, r) the most number of subsets of an n-element set which do not contain a 2-system consisting of r sets. Constructive new lower bounds for F(n, r) are given which improve known probabilistic results, an
In 1964, Kautz and Singleton (IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory 10 (1964), 363-377) introduced the superimposed code concept. A binary superimposed code of strength s is identified by the incidence matrix of a family of finite sets in which no set is covered by the union of s others (
The Viro method is a powerful construction method of real nonsingular algebraic hypersurfaces with prescribed topology. It is based on polyhedral subdivisions of Newton polytopes. A combinatorial version of the Viro method is called combinatorial patchworking and arises when the considered subdivisi
