Abstract

It is general knowledge that the harmonic mean H(x,y)=21x+1yH(x,y)=\frac2{\frac1x+\frac1y} and that the geometric mean G(x,y)=xyG(x,y)=\sqrt{xy}\,, where xx and yy are two positive numbers. In the paper, the authors show by several approaches that the harmonic mean Hx,y(t)=H(x+t,y+t)H_{x,y}(t)=H(x+t,y+t) and the geometric mean Gx,y(t)=G(x+t,y+t)G_{x,y}(t)=G(x+t,y+t) are all Bernstein functions of t(min{x,y},)t\in(-\min\{x,y\},\infty) and establish integral representations of the means Hx,y(t)H_{x,y}(t) and Gx,y(t)G_{x,y}(t).
