Abstract

A family of subsets of an n-set is k-locally thin if, for every k of its member sets, the ground set has at least one element contained in exactly 1 of them. We derive new asymptotic upper bounds for the maximum cardinality of locally thin set families for every even k. This improves on previous results of two of the authors with Monti.
