Voting fairly: Transitive maximal intersecting families of sets

摘要

There are several applications of maximal intersecting families (MIFs) and different notions of fairness. We survey known results regarding the enumeration of MIFs, and we conclude the enumeration of the 207,650,662,008 maximal families of intersecting subsets of X whose group of symmetries is transitive for X < 13.
