On some invariance of the quotient mean with respect to Makó-Páles means (Q1689420)

The invariance equation in more general classes of means has recently been studied extensively by many authors it is an interesting topic. The invariance of the geometric mean in the class of Lagrangian mean-type mappings was studied by \textit{D. Głazowska} and \textit{J. Matkowski} [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 331, No. 2, 1187--1199 (2007; Zbl 1119.26029)]. The equations involving weighted quasi-arithmetic means were discussed by \textit{Z. Daróczy} and \textit{Z. Páles} [Acta Math. Hung. 100, No. 3, 237--243 (2003; Zbl 1052.39018)] and \textit{J. Matkowski} [Aequationes Math. 82, No. 3, 247--253 (2011; Zbl 1232.26053)] studied the invariance of the quotient mean with respect to weighted quasi-arithmetic mean type mappings. Motivated by the cited works, the authors of this paper establish the invariance of the quotient mean with respect to Makó-Páles means, i.e., the functional equation. Given a continuous strictly monotone function \(\phi\) defined on an open interval \(I\) and a probability measure \(\mu\) on the Borel subsets of [0, 1], the Makó-Páles is defined. Under some conditions on the functions \(\phi\) and \(\chi\) defined on \(I\) the quotient mean is taken. Using this, the authors study the invariance. This is an interesting paper for mean and inequality researchers.
