goodPerms S T is the set of permutations σ of α such that every element of S
appears before every element of T in the linear ordering induced by σ.
Instances For
If S₁ ∩ T₂ and S₂ ∩ T₁ are both nonempty, the sets of good permutations
for (S₁, T₁) and (S₂, T₂) are disjoint, since a common permutation would force a
cyclic ordering contradiction.
For disjoint sets S, T ⊆ α, the number of permutations placing S before T
times $\binom{|S|+|T|}{|S|}$ equals $|\alpha|!$.
(Theorem 1.2.4, Bollobás Two Families Theorem, weighted form) Given families $(A_i)_{i < m}$ and $(B_i)_{i < m}$ with $A_i \cap B_j = \varnothing$ iff $i = j$, then $$\sum_{i < m} \binom{|A_i| + |B_i|}{|A_i|}^{-1} \le 1.$$
(Theorem 1.2.6, Bollobás Two Families Theorem, uniform form) If all A i have size
a and all B i have size b, the cross condition implies $m \le \binom{a+b}{a}$.
