Abstract: The aim of this paper is to introduce several notions of homogenization in various classes of weighted means, which include quasiarithmetic and semideviation means. In general, the homogenization is an operator which attaches a homogeneous mean to a given one. Our results show that, under some regularity or convexity assumptions, the homogenization of quasiarithmetic means are power means, and homogenization of semideviation means are homogeneous semideviation means. In other results, we characterize the comparison inequality, the Jensen concavity, and Minkowski- and H"older-type inequalities related to semideviation means.


The authors investigate several notions of homogenization. Namely, they introduce two constructions for the homogenization of weighted means (homogeneous envelopes and local homogenizations), they also deal with the homogenizations related to quasiarithmetic means and to semideviation means. Their class of semideviation means based on semideviation, \textit{Z. Páles} [Aequationes Math. 37, No. 2--3, 141--161 (1989; Zbl 0691.46002)] extends the classes of deviation and quasideviation means introduced by \textit{Z. Daroczy} [Aequationes Math. 7, 16--21 (1971; Zbl 0242.26015)] and by \textit{Z. Páles} [Publ. Math. 30, 75--88 (1983; Zbl 0544.26009)], respectively.\par The authors also characterize the comparison inequality, the Jensen concavity and inequalities of Minkowski or Hölder type related to semideviation means.
