Let \(n=n_1+\cdots+n_m,\) \(k=k_1+\cdots+k_m\) (every item an integer) and let \(X_1,\dots,X_m\) pairwise disjoint sets with \(n_i\) elements, resp. Denote \(\mathcal H\) the set of those subsets of \(X\) which intersect \(X_i\) in \(k_i\) elements, resp. Finally let \(1\leq t_i \leq k_i\) for each \(i=1,\dots,m.\) A subset \({\mathcal A}\) of \({\mathcal H}\) is \((t_1,\dots,t_m)\)-intersecting if for every pair \(A,B \in {\mathcal A}\) there exists \(i\in \{1,\dots,m\}\) such that \(| A \cap B \cap X_i| \geq t_i.\) What can be the largest cardinality of an \((t_1,\dots,t_m)\)-intersecting subset? The problem for \(t_i=1\) was solved by P. Frankl. This paper solves the general case. The proof is based on the powerful method of Ahlswede and Khachatrian applied to the complete intersection theorem.
