Frankl's conjecture for even and -intersecting -Sperner families
Let , and let . The family is -intersecting if for all , and it is -Sperner if it contains no chain of length . Suppose that is even and . Frankl's conjecture. If is a -intersecting -Sperner family, then
The conjectured extremal construction consists of the consecutive layers beginning at level . Frankl proved the conjecture in several ranges; the general common extension of Milner's and Frankl's theorems remains open.
