The aim of this paper is to characterize the so-called $\sigma$-balancing property in the class of generalized quasi-arithmetic means. In general, the question is whether those elements of a given family of means that possess this property…
In this paper, we investigate the behavior of a bivariate mean $M$ near the first bisector by establishing, in several significant cases, an important expansion of $M$ derived from the Taylor expansion of a single-variable function. These…
In this paper we show that bisymmetry, which is an algebraic property, has a regularity improving feature. More precisely, we prove that every bisymmetric, partially strictly monotonic, reflexive and symmetric function $F:I^2\to I$ is…
We characterize continuous, symmetric and homogeneous means $M$ that can be represented in the form \begin{equation*} \frac{1}{M(x,y)}=\int_0^1 \frac{dt}{N\left(\tfrac{x+y}{2}-t\tfrac{x-y}{2},\tfrac{x+y}{2}+t\tfrac{x-y}{2}\right)}.…
The mean value inequality is characteristic for upper semicontinuous functions to be subharmonic. Quasinearly subharmonic functions generalize subharmonic functions. We find the necessary and sufficient conditions under which subsets of…
For a sequence of continuous, monotone functions $f_1,\dots,f_n \colon I \to \mathbb{R}$ ($I$ is an interval) we define the mapping $M \colon I^n \to I^n$ as a Cartesian product of quasi-arithmetic means generated by $f_j$-s. It is known…
In recent papers the convexity of quasiarithmetic means was characterized under twice differentiability assumptions. One of the main goals of this paper is to show that the convexity or concavity of a quasiarithmetic mean implies the the…
Motivated by the well-known implications among $t$-convexity properties of real functions, analogous relations among the upper and lower $M$-convexity properties of real functions are established. More precisely, having an $n$-tuple…
In this paper we present some characterizations for quasi-arithmetic operator means (among them the arithmetic and harmonic means) on the positive definite cone of the full algebra of Hilbert space operators, and also for the Kubo-Ando…
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…
In this note we present a refinement of the AM-GM inequality, and then we estimate in a special case the typical size of the improvement.
We generalize quasi-arithmetic means beyond scalars by considering the gradient map of a Legendre type real-valued function. The gradient map of a Legendre type function is proven strictly comonotone with a global inverse. It thus yields a…
The main result of this paper provides six necessary and sufficient conditions under various regularity assumptions for a so-called Cauchy mean to be identical to a two-variable quasiarithmetic mean. One of these conditions says that a…
The main purpose of this article is to study higher power mean values of generalized quadratic Gauss sums using estimates for character sums, analytic method and algebraic geometric methods. In this article, we prove two conjectures which…
The theory of quasi-arithmetic means is a powerful tool in the study of covariance functions across space-time. In the present study we use quasi-arithmetic functionals to make inferences about the permissibility of averages of functions…
Let $I\subset (0,\infty )$ be an interval that is closed with respect to the multiplication. The operations $C_{f,g}\colon I^{2}\rightarrow I$ of the form \begin{equation*} C_{f,g}\left( x,y\right) =\left( f\circ g\right) ^{-1}\left(…
