“…Now it is natural to ask for the maximum of
taken over all non‐empty

‐intersecting families
. In this regime there are several partial results concerning the maximum sum of sizes of
‐cross
‐intersecting families for specific instances of

6, 20, 21, 24, 31, 32, 34, 35] (also see the references therein). We determine

for both uniform families and non‐uniform families (see Corollary 1.3 and Corollary 1.5), generalising a result by Frankl and Wong H.W.…”
