Abstract

Classical result states that for two continuous and strict means M,N ⁣:I2IM,\,N \colon I^2 \to I (II is an interval) there exists a unique (M,N)(M,N)-invariant mean K ⁣:I2IK \colon I^2 \to I, i.e. such a mean that K(M,N)=KK \circ (M,N)=K and, moreover, the sequence of iterates ((M,N)n)n=1((M,N)^n)_{n=1}^\infty converge to (K,K)(K,K) pointwise. Recently it was proved that continuity assumption cannot be omitted in general. We show that if KK is a unique (M,N)(M,N)-invariant mean then, under no continuity assumption, (M,N)n(K,K)(M,N)^n \to (K,K).
