Family of quasi-arithmetic means has a natural, partial order (point-wise order) $A^{[f]}\le A^{[g]}$ if and only if $A^{[f]}(v)\le A^{[g]}(v)$ for all admissible vectors $v$ ($f,\,g$ and, later, $h$ are continuous and monotone and defined…
The aim of this paper is to find a broad family of means defined on a subinterval of $I \subset [0,+\infty)$ such that $$ \sum_{n=1}^\infty \mathscr{M}(a_1,\dots,a_n) <+\infty \quad\text{ for all }\quad a \in \ell_1(I).$$ Equivalently, the…
We prove that the order of an ordered group is an interval order if and only if it is a semiorder. Next, we prove that every semiorder is isomorphic to a collection $\mathcal J$ of intervals of some totally ordered abelian group, these…
The celebrated Hardy inequality can be written in the form $$\int_0^\infty \mathcal{P}_p \big(f|_{[0,x]}\big)dx \le (1-p)^{-1/p} \int_0^\infty f(x)\:dx \qquad \text{ for }p\in(0,1)\text{ and }f \in L^1\text{ with }f\ge0,$$ where…
We study the reverse mathematics of interval orders. We establish the logical strength of the implications between various definitions of the notion of interval order. We also consider the strength of different versions of the…
This paper studies the Hardy-type inequalities on the intervals (may be infinite) with two weights, either vanishing at two endpoints of the interval or having mean zero. For the first type of inequalities, in terms of new isoperimetric…
For $a,b>0$ with $a\neq b$, we define M_{p}=M^{1/p}(a^{p},b^{p})\text{if}p\neq 0 \text{and} M_{0}=\sqrt{ab}, where $M=A,He,L,I,P,T,N,Z$ and $Y$ stand for the arithmetic mean, Heronian mean, logarithmic mean, identric (exponential) mean, the…
We study poset limits given by sequences of finite interval orders or, as a special case, finite semiorders. In the interval order case, we show that every such limit can be represented by a probability measure on the space of closed…
Intervals in binary or n-ary relations or other discrete structures generalize the concept of interval in a linearly ordered set. Join-irreducible partitions into intervals are characterized in the lattice of all interval decompositions of…
Inferring the means in the multivariate normal model $X \sim N_n(\theta, I)$ with unknown mean vector $\theta=(\theta_1,...,\theta_n)' \in \mathbb{R}^n$ and observed data $X=(X_1,...,X_n)'\in {\mathbb R}^n$ is a challenging task, known as…
There are two natural and well-studied approaches to temporal ontology and reasoning: point-based and interval-based. Usually, interval-based temporal reasoning deals with points as a particular case of duration-less intervals. A recent…
We introduce a partial order structure on the set of interval orders of a given size, and prove that such a structure is in fact a lattice. We also provide a way to compute meet and join inside this lattice. Finally, we show that, if we…
A poset $P = (X,\prec)$ has an interval representation if each $x \in X$ can be assigned a real interval $I_x$ so that $x \prec y$ in $P$ if and only if $I_x$ lies completely to the left of $I_y$. Such orders are called \emph{interval…

In this paper, we consider the global comparison problem of Gini means with fixed number of variables on a subinterval $I$ of $\mathbb{R}_+$, i.e., the following inequality \begin{align}\tag{$\star$}\label{ggcabs}…
In this short note, we construct a class of models of an extension of homotopy type theory, which we call homotopy type theory with an interval type.
We prove that whenever the selfmapping $(M_1,\dots,M_p)\colon I^p \to I^p$, ($p \in \mathbb{N}$ and $M_i$-s are $p$-variable means on the interval $I$) is invariant with respect to some continuous and strictly monotone mean $K \colon I^p…
We introduce a new type of means. It is new in two ways: its domain consists of sets and its values are sets too. We investigate the properties and behavior of such generalization. We also present many naturally arisen examples for such…
This essay looks at decision-making with interval-valued probability measures. Existing decision methods have either supplemented expected utility methods with additional criteria of optimality, or have attempted to supplement the…
Let m(a,b) and M(a,b,c) be symmetric means. We say that M is type 1 invariant with respect to m if M(m(a,c),m(a,b),m(b,c)) = M(a,b,c) for all a, b, c > 0. If m is strict and isotone, then we show that there exists a unique M which is type 1…
