Comparing almost-disjoint families (Q1087541)

If \(\{A_{\alpha}:\alpha <\kappa \}\), \(\{B_{\alpha}:\alpha <\kappa \}\) are almost-disjoint families of countable sets, \(| A_{\alpha}\cap A_{\beta}| \leq | B_{\alpha}\cap B_{\beta}|\) for \(\alpha <\beta <\kappa\), and there are finite subsets \(f(B_{\alpha})\subseteq B_{\alpha}\) such that the system \(\{B_{\alpha}-f(B_{\alpha}):\alpha <\kappa \}\) is disjoint, then the same is true for \(\{A_{\alpha}:\alpha <\kappa \}\). This implies that this property holds if \(| A_{\alpha}\cap A_{\beta}| \leq n\) for a fixed natural number n, a strengthening of Miller's theorem.
