On a family of operator means involving the power difference means (Q745187): Difference between revisions

The authors prove that, for all \(p,q\in [-1,1]\), the functions \(F_{p,q}(t)\) defined by \[ F_{p,q}(t):=\left (\int_0^1[(1-\alpha )+\alpha t^p]^{\frac{q}{p}}\,d\alpha \right )^\frac{1}{q} \] are operator monotone on \([0,\infty ).\) They then introduce operator means corresponding to these operator monotone functions in the sense of the Kubo-Ando theory of operator means. These means interpolate the arithmetic, geometric, harmonic, logarithmic means and include some special means.
