Abstract:
A Sperner partition system is a system of set partitions such that any two set partitions $P$ and $Q$ in the system have the property that for all classes $A$ of $P$ and all classes $B$ of $Q$, $A \not\subseteq B$ and $B \not\subseteq A$. A $k$-partition is a set partition with $k$ classes and a $k$-partition is said to be uniform if every class has the same cardinality $c=n/k$. In this paper, we prove a higher order generalization of Sperner's Theorem. In particular, we show that if $k$ divides $n$ the largest Sperner $k$-partition system on an $n$-set has cardinality ${n-1 \choose n/k-1}$ and is a uniform partition system. We give a bound on the cardinality of a Sperner $k$-partition system of an $n$-set for any $k$ and $n$.

Abstract:
The two part Sperner theorem of Katona and Kleitman states that if $X$ is an $n$-element set with partition $X_1 \cup X_2$, and $\mathcal{F}$ is a family of subsets of $X$ such that no two sets $A, B \in \mathcal{F}$ satisfy $A \subset B$ (or $B \subset A$) and $A \cap X_i=B\cap X_i$ for some $i$, then $|\mathcal{F}| \le {n \choose \lfloor n/2\rfloor}$. We consider variations of this problem by replacing the Sperner property with the intersection property and considering families that satisfy various combinations of these properties on one or both parts $X_1$, $X_2$. Along the way, we prove the following new result which may be of independent interest: let $\mathcal{F},\mathcal{G}$ be intersecting families of subsets of an $n$-element set that are additionally cross-Sperner, meaning that if $A \in\mathcal{F}$ and $B \in \mathcal{G}$, then $A \not\subset B$ and $B \not\subset A$. Then $|\mathcal{F}| +|\mathcal{G}| \le 2^{n-1}$ and there are exponentially many examples showing that this bound is tight.

Abstract:
We introduce graph-dependent covering arrays which generalize covering arrays on graphs, introduced by Meagher and Stevens (2005), and graph-dependent partition systems, studied by Gargano, Körner, and Vaccaro (1994). A covering array $\hbox{CA}(n; 2, G, H)$ (of strength 2) on column graph $G$ and alphabet graph $H$ is an $n\times |V(G)|$ array with symbols $V(H)$ such that for every arc $ij \in E(G)$ and for every arc $ab\in E(H)$, there exists a row $\vec{r} = (r_{1},\dots, r_{|V(G)|})$ such that $(r_{i}, r_{j}) = (a,b)$. We prove bounds on $n$ when $G$ is a tournament graph and $E(H)$ consists of the edge $(0,1)$, which corresponds to a directed version of Sperner's 1928 theorem. For two infinite families of column graphs, transitive and so-called circular tournaments, we give constructions of covering arrays which are optimal infinitely often.
