Generalizing the arithmetic geometric mean - a hapless computer experiment (Q919468)

As the title shows, this paper contains more of a chat about the author's trials and tribulations around Gauss's medium arithmetico-geometricum and similar iterative processes of Meissel and of Borchardt (which start with 3 or 4 numbers, respectively) than solid results. He surveys, however, several of those too and states some problems and conjectures, one of which, as he points out at the end of the paper, has been solved ``in a truly marvelous paper'' by \textit{J. M. Borwein} and \textit{P. B. Borwein} [Math. Comput. 53, No.187, 311-326 (1989; Zbl 0675.30023)]. \{Reviewer's remark: The paper is carelessly typeset: abstract is twice printed, ``link'' in the first line of p. 236 should be ``line'', etc. There are also some unusual notations, like ``\(=^{fed}\)'' for ``=:''.\}
