Abstract

The first part of this paper deals with families of ordered k-tuples having a common element in different position. A quite general theorem is given and special cases are considered. The second part deals with t families of sets with some intersection properties, and generalizes results by Bollobás, Frankl, Lovász and Füredi to this case.
