The Hilton-Milner theorem in the ℓ2-norm
Abstract
The Hilton-Milner theorem is a classical theorem in extremal set theory which determines the maximum size of a nontrivial k-uniform intersecting family. In this paper, we prove an exact version of the Hilton-Milner theorem in the ℓ2-norm. Our method also gives an asymptotic version of the Hilton-Milner theorem in the $(j, p)$-norm.
