Statement: Prove the Erdōs-Ko-Rado theorem for intersecting families of sets. The theorem asserts that if a family of sets has the property that every pair of sets intersects, then the family is maximized by the family of all sets containing a fixed element. The proof should involve combinatorial techniques, including the use of extremal set theory, and explore the generalization of this theorem to other combinatorial structures. Required Research: 1.
