A Note on Chvátal's Conjecture

Abstract
The main purpose of this thesis is to treat and clarify two results found by Hunter Snevily on the open problem of Chvátal's conjecture. Chvátal's conjecture states that a certain class of sets, called ideals, always have a maximum intersecting family of subsets, where all members contain a common element. Such a family of subsets is called a star. Snevily presents his results in an article, the structure of which will be followed when presenting and proving both his and earlier acquired results, constituting the basis of his conclusions.
