Spin-polarized transport through a double quantum dot system attached to a common superconducting lead and two ferromagnetic electrodes (fork geometry) is investigated theoretically. The key objective of the analysis is to describe the influence of electrodes' ferromagnetism on the Andreev tunneling. Both direct and crossed Andreev tunneling processes are considered, in general. The other objective is a detailed analysis of the role of Coulomb interaction and its impact on the Andreev tunneling processes.
