Attribute evaluation provides an understanding of the perceived quality and subjective value of the museum visitor experience. The principal contribution of this paper is to analyze the attributes perceived by tourists and the local community (Madrid residents) of the Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum (Madrid, Spain), utilizing the results from choice experiment and willingness-to-pay questionnaires. To analyze in depth the assessment regarding the museum attributes and the visitor perceptions of them, the relevance-determination model was applied. Data collection was achieved with a questionnaire using a convenience sample of international tourists and the local community, providing a total of 775 valid surveys. The results of the application of the relevance-determination analysis (RDA) show that there are two types of attributes: higher-impact core and lower-importance attributes. The attributes with the highest subjective value perceived by interviewed tourists and interviewed residents are the location, the building, and the permanent collection. These results show that there are substantial differences between the perception and appreciation of these attributes by interviewed residents and interviewed tourists. The results provide valuable information that can be applied in practice to devise strategies for economic and socio-cultural sustainability aimed at improving decision-making in museum management.
This article introduces Haros graphs, a construction which provides a graph-theoretical representation of real numbers in the unit interval reached via paths in the Farey binary tree. We show how the topological structure of Haros graphs yields a natural classification of the real numbers into a hierarchy of families. To unveil such classification, we introduce an entropic functional on these graphs and show that it can be expressed, thanks to its fractal nature, in terms of a generalized de Rham curve. We show that this entropy reaches a global maximum at the reciprocal of the Golden number and otherwise displays a rich hierarchy of local maxima and minima that relate to specific families of irrationals (noble numbers) and rationals, overall providing an exotic classification and representation of the reals numbers according to entropic principles. We close the article with a number of conjectures and outline a research programme on Haros graphs.
Haros graphs are a graph-theoretical representation of real numbers in the unit interval. The degree distribution of the Haros graphs provides information regarding the topological structure and the associated real number. This article provides a comprehensive demonstration of a conjecture concerning the analytical formulation of the degree distribution. Specifically, a theorem outlines the relationship between Haros graphs, the corresponding continued fraction of its associated real number, and the subsequent symbolic paths in the Farey binary tree. Moreover, an expression that is continuous and piecewise linear in subintervals defined by Farey fractions can be derived from an additional conclusion for the degree distribution of Haros graphs.
