Abstract: This paper is motivated by an astonishing result of H. Alzer and S. Ruscheweyh published in 2001 in the Proc. Amer. Math. Soc., which states that the intersection of the classes two-variable Gini means and Stolarsky means is equal to the class of two-variable power means. The two-variable Gini and Stolarsky means form two-parameter classes of means expressed in terms of power functions. They can naturally be generalized in terms of the so-called Bajraktarevi'c and Cauchy means. Our aim is to show that the intersection of these two classes of functional means, under high-order differentiability assumptions, is equal to the class of two-variable quasiarithmetic means.


In this paper, the authors study the classes of two-variable functional means that extend Hölder, Gini and Stolarsky means in a natural way. These classes are the two-variable Bajraktarević, Cauchy and quasiarithmetic means. They derive and prove when the two-variable Bajraktarević and Cauchy means will be equal to the class of two-variable quasiarithmetic means under higher-order differentiability assumptions. The results obtained further extends the previous work of \textit{H. Alzer} and \textit{S. Ruscheweyh} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 129, No. 9, 2655--2662 (2001; Zbl 0979.26015)] which asserts inclusion instead of equality.
