Weighted non-trivial multiply intersecting families (Q2495693)

Let \(\mathcal F\) be a non-trivially \(r\)-wise intersecting family on an \(n\)-element underlying set. (Every \(r\) elements have non-empty intersection but no single element of the underlying set belongs to all sets in the family.) This paper exhibits a new (weighted) LYM-type inequality for these families: there exists an \(\varepsilon(r)\) (if \(r\geq 13\)) such that \(\sum_{F\in {\mathcal F}} w^{|F|} (1-w)^{n-|F|} \leq w^r(r+1-rw)\) holds in case of \(1/2\leq w \leq 1/2+\varepsilon.\)
