A remark on the $t$-intersecting Erdős-Ko-Rado theorem

The $t$-intersecting Erdős-Ko-Rado theorem is the following statement: if $\mathcal{F}\subset \left(\genfrac{}{}{0px}{}{[n]}{k}\right)$ is a $t$-intersecting family of sets and $n\ge (t+1)(k-t+1)$, then $\mathrm{\mid }\mathcal{F}\mathrm{\mid }\le \left(\genfrac{}{}{0px}{}{n-t}{k-t}\right)$. The first proof of this statement for all $t$ was a linear algebraic argument of Wilson. Earlier, Schrijver had proven the $t$-intersecting Erdős-Ko-Rado theorem for sufficiently large $n$ by a seemingly different linear algebraic argument motivated by Delsarte theory. In this note, we show that the approaches of Schrijver and Wilson are in fact equivalent.
