This bound I IF Lk 1J L k 1 J is sharp as is shown by Hilton-Milner type families. As an application of this result we determine the chromatic number of the corresponding q-Kneser graphs. 1 Introduction Sets Let X be an n-element set and for 0 k n let X denote the family of all subsets of X of cardinality k. A family F c k is called intersecting if for all F1 F2 E F we have F1 e F2 0. Erdos Ko and Rado 5 determined the maximum size of an intersecting family and introduced the so-called shifting technique.
