On some intermediate mean values

Abstract: We give a necessary and sufficient mean condition for the quotient of two Jensen functionals and define a new class

L a m b d a_{f, g} (a, b)

of mean values where

f, g

are continuously differentiable convex functions satisfying the relation

. Then we asked for a characterization of

f, g

such that the inequalities

H (a, b) l e L a m b d a_{f, g} (a, b) l e A (a, b)

or

L (a, b) l e L a m b d a_{f, g} (a, b) l e I (a, b)

hold for each positive

a, b

, where

H, A, L, I

are the harmonic, arithmetic, logarithmic and identric means, respectively. For a subclass of

L a m b d a

with

, this problem is thoroughly solved.

Summary: We give a necessary and sufficient mean condition for the quotient of two Jensen functionals and define a new class \(\Lambda_{f, g}(a, b)\) of mean values where \(f, g\) are continuously differentiable convex functions satisfying the relation \(f(t) = tg(t), t \in \mathbb R^+\). Then we asked for a characterization of \(f, g\) such that the inequalities \(H(a, b) \leq \Lambda_{f, g}(a, b) \leq A(a, b)\) or \(L(a, b) \leq \Lambda_{f, g}(a, b) \leq I(a, b)\) hold for each positive \(a, b\), where \(H, A, L, I\) are the harmonic, arithmetic, logarithmic, and identric means, respectively. For a subclass of \(\Lambda\) with \(g(t) = t^s, s \in \mathbb R\), this problem is thoroughly solved.
