to study art, sociologists have so far related it either to the economic base of the artistic product or to the artist's ideology or world-view or the class structure of the audience and art consumers. the importance of none of these factors could be denied; however, what is more important is the relation between these factors, the complex network of political, economic and social relations tha...

This paper is concerned with the problem of synchronization for complex dynamic networks with state and coupling time-delays. Therefore, larger class and more complicated complex dynamic networks can be considered for the synchronization problem. Based on the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, a delay-independent criterion is obtained and formulated in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs)...

In this paper, at first, we introduce $alpha_{mu}$-admissible, $Z_mu$-contraction and  $N_{mu}$-contraction via simulation functions. We prove some new fixed point theorems for defined class of contractions   via $alpha$-admissible simulation mappings, as well. Our results  can be viewed as extension of the corresponding results in this area.  Moreover, some examples and an application to funct...
