On cross intersecting families and P vs NP coNP in decision tree model

Résumé/Abstract :

Assume that any set in a finite family A of n-element sets intersects with any sets in a finite family B of n-element sets. Then there is an element that belongs to at least 1/2n fraction of sets in A and to at least 1/2n fraction of sets in B. This combinatorial statement has an interesting application to computational complexity of decision trees.
