• Variations of oddtown and eventown (Jason O’Neill, Cal State LA)

    Estella 2113

    The classical oddtown and eventown problems involve a collection of subsets of a finite set with an odd (resp. even) number of elements such that all pairwise intersections contain an even number of elements. In this talk, we will discuss these results as well as the following variants: We consider set sizes and pairwise intersection […]
