On certain new means and their Ky Fan type inequalities (Q874788)

The author continues to explore various generalizations of the Ky Fan inequalities \(G/G\leq A/A'\) and \((1/G'- 1/G)\leq (1/A'-1/A)\) where \(A= A(x)\) is the arithmetic mean of the \(n\)-tuple \(x\), \(x_i,\, 0< x_i\leq 1/2,\, 1\leq i\leq n\), \(A'= A(1-x)\), where \(1-x\) is the \(n\)-tuple \( 1-x_i,\, 1\leq i\leq n\). \(G, G'\) are analogously defined geometric means. This is done by using a generalization of Jensen's inequality due to \textit{J. Rooin} [JIPAM, J. Inequal. Pure Appl. Math. 2, No. 1, Paper No. 4 (2001; Zbl 0978.26012)]: \(f\bigl(A(x)\bigr)\leq F(t) \leq A\bigl(f(x)\bigr)\), where \(f(x)\) is the \(n\)-tuple \(f(x_i),\, 1\leq i\leq n\), \(f\) is convex and \(F(t) = (1/n)\sum_{i=1}^n f\bigl((1-t)x_i + t x_{n+1-i}\bigr),\, 0\leq t\leq 1\), and by ingeniously defining new means that are designed for this generalization. The paper also contains a survey of recent work in this area by the author and others.
