We determine the number of maximal intersecting families on a 9-set and nd 423295099074735261880. We determine the number of independent sets of the Kneser graph K(9; 4) and nd 366996244568643864340. We determine the number of intersecting families on an 8-set and on a 9-set and nd 14704022144627161780744368338695925293142507520 and 12553242487940503914363982718112298267975272720808010757809032705650591023015520462677475328 (roughly 1:255 10 91 ), respectively.

How many cliques can a clique cover cover?
This work examines the problem of clique enumeration on a graph by exploiting its clique covers. The principle of inclusion/exclusion is applied to determine the number of cliques of size r in the…
Clique Structure of Orthomodular Posets
Dacey graphs include looped structures of maximal cliques when two maximal cliques cover a third. Dacey established a class of simple, finite graphs, called Dacey graphs, which corresponds to the set…

Automorphism groups of superextensions of groups
The superextension $\lambda(X)$ of a set $X$ consists of all maximal linked families on $X$. Any associative binary operation $*: X\times X \to X$ can be extended to an associative binary operation…
On the foundations and extremal structure of the holographic entropy cone
The holographic entropy cone (HEC) is a polyhedral cone first introduced in the study of a class of quantum entropy inequalities. It admits a graph-theoretic description in terms of minimum cuts in…
On Mubayi's Conjecture and Conditionally Intersecting Sets
TLDR
It is proved that Mubayi's Conjecture is true for all families that are invariant with respect to shifting; indeed, these families satisfy a stronger version of Mubayei'sconjecture.
Structural and computational aspects of simple and influence games
TLDR
It is proved that the problem of deciding whether a simple game in minimal winning form is decisive can be solved in quasi-polynomial time, and that this problem can be polynomially reduced to the same problem but restricted to regular games in shift-minimal winning form.
Automorphism groups of superextensions of finite monogenic semigroups.
A family $\mathcal L$ of subsets of a set $X$ is called linked if $A\cap B\ne\emptyset$ for any $A,B\in\mathcal L$. A linked family $\mathcal M$ of subsets of $X$ is maximal linked if $\mathcal M$…

We establish a supercongruence conjectured by Almkvist and Zudilin, by proving a corresponding [Formula: see text]-supercongruence. Similar [Formula: see text]-supercongruences are established for…
Intersection theorems for families of matchings of complete $k$-partite $k$-graphs
The celebrated Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado Theorem and other intersection theorems on families of sets have previously been generalised with respect to families of permutations. We prove that many of these…

We compute the eighth Dedekind number, or the number of monotone collections of subsets of a set with eight elements. The number obtained is 56, 130, 437, 228, 687, 557, 907, 788.
On counting independent sets in sparse graphs
TLDR
Two results are proved concerning approximate counting of independent sets in graphs with constant maximum degree $\Delta$ that imply that the Markov chain Monte Carlo technique is likely to fail and that no fully polynomial randomized approximation scheme can exist for $\Delta \geq 25$ unless $\mathrm{RP}=\mathrm(NP)$.
