Bounds for the arithmetic mean in terms of the Neuman-Sándor and other bivariate means (Q1790011)

Summary: We present the largest values \(\alpha_1\), \(\alpha_2\), and \(\alpha_3\) and the smallest values \(\beta_1\), \(\beta_2\), and \(\beta_3\) such that the double inequalities \(\alpha_1 M(a,b)+(1-\alpha_1)H(a,b) < A(a,b) <\beta_1 M(a,b) + (1-\beta_1)H(a,b)\), \(\alpha_2 M(a,b) + (1-\alpha_2)\overline{H}(a,b) < A(a,b) <\beta_2 M(a,b)+(1-\beta_2)\overline{H}(a,b)\), and \(\alpha_3 M(a,b)+(1-\alpha_3)He(a,b) < A(a,b) <\beta_3 M(a,b)+(1-\beta_3)He(a,b)\) hold for all \(a,b>0\) with \(a\neq b\), where \(M(a,b)\), \(A(a,b)\), \(He(a,b)\), \(H(a,b)\) and \(\overline{H}(a,b)\) denote the Neuman-Sándor, arithmetic, Heronian, harmonic, and harmonic root-square means of \(a\) and \(b\), respectively.
