Weighted cross-intersecting families (Q2483405)

The author considers cross--intersecting families: A family \(A\) of \(k\)--element subsets of \(\{1,2,\dots,n\}\) and a family \(B\) of \(l\)--element subsets of \(\{1,2,\dots,n\}\) are called cross--intersecting if no two subsets \(a\in A\), \(b\in B\) are disjoint. The author poses and solves the problem of maximizing \(\alpha| A| +\beta| B|\) (for given positive constants \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\)) and presents a generalization of the LYM inequality.
