Let p be a prime number, let L⊆Fp​ have s≤min{k,n−k} elements, and suppose A⊆[n](k) satisfies ∣A∩B∣modp∈L for distinct members while kmodp∈/L. The Frankl-Wilson theorem gives
∣A∣≤(sn​).
(1)
Its polynomial method in combinatorics turns modular intersection restrictions into linearly independent functions represented by square-free monomials of degree s.
