Invariance of Bajraktarevič mean with respect to quasi arithmetic means (Q2915410)

Let \(I\) be a real interval, \(f, g\colon I\rightarrow\mathbb R\) be continuous functions such that \(g\) does not vanish on \(I\) and \(f/g\) is one-to-one. Then, the Bajraktarevič mean of generators \((f,g)\) is defined by NEWLINE\[NEWLINE B_{f,g}(x,y):=\left(\frac{f}{g}\right)^{-1} \left(\frac{f(x)+f(y)} {g(x)+g(y)}\right).NEWLINE\]NEWLINE The paper is devoted to solve (under no additional regularity assumption on the generators) the invariance equation \(B_{f,g}\circ(A_{f},A_{g})=B_{f,g}\) in the case when \(B_{f,g}\) is a Bajraktarevič mean, and \(A_{f},A_{g}\) are quasi-arithmetic means with generators \(f\) and \(g\) respectively. Some applications in iteration theory and in the theory of functional equations are considered.
