Abstract

A discussion on the union of shadows is presented. It was shown that if A is a family of (3k) 3-sets then there are at least ( 4k) 4-sets that may be written as unions of two 2-sets in the shadow of A. This is the first non-trivial case of a more general conjecture about unions of shadows.
