Precise statement
The paper nearly settles the tradeoff between the size of a set system over $[n]$ and its number of full chains, an extremal question raised by Johnson, Leader and Russell as a counterpart to Sperner-type results, and linked by recent work to the space and time complexity of Bellman–Held–Karp dynamic programming for permutation problems.
