The equality problem in the class of conjugate means (Q1759601)

The authors prove the following theorem: Let \(I\subset\mathbb{R}\) be a nonempty open interval and let \(L:I^2\rightarrow I\) be a fixed strict mean. A function \(M:I^2\rightarrow I\) is said to be an \(L\)-conjugate mean on \(I\) if there exist \(p,q\in\,]0,1]\) and a strictly monotone and continuous function \(\varphi\) such that \[ M(x,y):=\varphi^{-1}(p\varphi(x)+q\varphi(y)+(1-p-q)\varphi(L(x,y)))=:L^{(p,q)}_\varphi(x,y), \] for all \(x,y\in I\). Here \(L(x,y)\) is a fixed quasi-arithmetic mean. The authors solve the equality problem in this class of means.
