But the quest for such examples remain valid till this date. In this short note, by computing transversal size of a certain series of uniform intersecting families constructed over the cycle graph, we provide an example which has more than $(\\frac{k}{2})^{k-1}$ (approximately) blocks.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-01-09T15:35:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05B30", "05D15", "05C65" ], "keywords": [ "cycle graph", "transversal size", "examples remain valid till", "maximum number" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150102178M" } } }
