In this paper, we examine suitable conditions on $k$-wise intersections from a $k$-tuple of set families for which a Bollob\\'as-type inequality holds. We then use the standard connection between extremal set theory and covering problems to give lower and upper bounds on the biclique covering numbers of a few particular $k$-uniform hypergraphs. We also provide random and explicit constructions of these Bollob\\'as set $k$-tuples.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-12-03T03:18:32.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05D05", "05C65" ], "keywords": [ "bollobás-type inequalities", "extremal set theory", "bollobas set pairs inequality", "bollobas-type inequality holds", "fundamental result" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
