The epsilon-union-closed sets conjecture

Let A\mathcal{A} be a finite union-closed collection of sets containing at least one non-empty set, and let A|\mathcal{A}| denote its number of sets. The ε\varepsilon-union-closed sets conjecture. There exists ε>0\varepsilon>0 such that there is an element belonging to at least εA\varepsilon\cdot |\mathcal{A}| of the sets in A\mathcal{A}. This is a weakening of the union-closed sets conjecture, proposed because the original problem has proved difficult; the source provides no resolution of this weakened conjecture.
