Given an intersecting family, its {\\it diversity} is the number of sets not passing through the most popular element of the ground set. Frankl made the following conjecture: for $n> 3k>0$ any intersecting family $\\mathcal f\\subset {[n]\\choose k}$ has diversity at most ${n-3\\choose k-2}$. This is tight for the following \"two out of three\" family: $\\{F\\in {[n]\\choose k}: |F\\cap [3]|\\ge 2\\}$. In this note we prove this conjecture for $n\\ge ck$, where $c$ is a constant independent of $n$ and $k$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-09-08T18:33:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "intersecting family", "uniform intersecting families", "sets intersect", "popular element", "ground set" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
