For instance, 94% consid...

Building upon the interpolative classical results of D. Achour, P. Rueda, and R. Yahi for Lipschitz ideals we define the interpolative fuzzy Lipschitz ideal concept for fuzzy Lipschitz operators between fuzzy metric spaces and complete fuzzy normed spaces which is a natural generalization of the notion of absolutely (crisp) Lipschitz (p, θ)-summing...

This chapter argues that anthropological and global art collections are an important starting point for understanding different kinds of relationships between objects and media, and the multiple actors and institutions who have engaged with them over time.

In his precritical period Kant developed a demonstration of the existence of God that he believed to be the only possible one. Whether this argument is valid is a much-disputed question. To give an answer to this question I will reconstruct Kant’s argument with the means of modern logic and semantics and show which are—in my view—it’s weak points....
