Bounds for A-G, A-H, G-H, and a family of inequalities of Ky Fan's type, using a general method (Q1972561)

In the title, A, G, and H is the arithmetic, geometric, or harmonic mean, respectively. With aid of a ``general method'' consisting of proving one partial derivative of certain differences (``compressions'') to be positive, the author offers upper and lower bounds for A-G and G-H, a lower bound for A-H and the inequality \(\text{A}(x_1,\dots,x_n) \text{G}(y_1,\dots,y_n)\geq \text{A}(y_1,\dots,y_n) \text{G}(x_1,\dots,x_n)\) for \(0\leq x_1\leq x_2\leq\dots\leq x_n\leq 2^{-1/p}\) \((p\geq 1)\) and \(y_k=(1-x_k ^p)^{1/p}\) \((k=1,\dots,n).\)
