Schur-\(m\) power convexity of Cauchy means and its application (Q2211961)

The Cauchy mean generalizes many well-known classical means of two variables. Schur convexity, Schur geometric convexity, Schur harmonic convexity and Schur power convexity are important tools in their study. In recent years, the application of majorization theory to the Schur convexity of various means has been very active and many results have been obtained. The authors of this paper obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the Cauchy mean to be Schur-\(m\) power convex or concave. As applications, Schur-\(m\) power convexity of the exponential mean is discussed and a comparative inequality between the Gini mean and the Stolarsky mean is given.
