A reverse inequality for the weighted geometric mean due to Lawson--Lim (Q2459971)

The authors obtain another proof of the existence of a weighted geometric mean of \(n\)-operators, which has been defined by \textit{J. Lawson} and \textit{Y.-D. Lim} in [``A general framework for extending means to higher orders'', Preprint (2006; arXiv:math/0612293)] by using the symmetrization procedure due to \textit{T. Ando, C.-K. Li} and \textit{R. Mathias} [Linear Algebra Appl. 385, 305--334 (2004; Zbl 1063.47013)]. In the paper under review, the authors also obtain the concrete form of the weighted arithmetic mean of \(n\)-operators defined by Ando's symmetrization procedure. Moreover, the authors give a Kantorovich inequality for \(n\)-operators, which is a more precise inequality than the one shown in [\textit{T. Yamazaki}, Linear Algebra Appl. 416, No. 2--3, 688--695 (2006; Zbl 1126.47016)].
