Let $I\subseteq\mathbb{R}$ be a nonempty open subinterval. We say that a two-variable mean $M:I\times I\to\mathbb{R}$ enjoys the \emph{balancing property} if, for all $x,y\in I$, the equality \begin{equation}\tag{1}…
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 purpose of this paper is to extend the definition of quasiarithmetic means by taking a strictly monotone generating function instead of a strictly monotone and continuous one. We establish the properties of such means and compare them…
For a family of quasi-arithmetic means satisfying certain smoothness condition we majorize the speed of convergence of the iterative sequence of self-mappings having a mean on each entry, described in the definition of Gaussian product, to…
In this paper we characterize generalized quasi-arithmetic means, that is means of the form $M(x_1,...,x_n):=(f_1+...+f_n)^{-1}(f_1(x_1)+...+f_n(x_n))$, where $f_1,...,f_n:I\to\mathbb{R}$ are strictly increasing and continuous functions.…
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…
It is known that the family of power means tends to maximum pointwise if we pass argument to infinity. We will give some necessary and sufficient condition for the family of quasi-arithmetic means generated by a functions satisfying certain…
We establish some limit theorems for quasi-arithmetic means of random variables. This class of means contains the arithmetic, geometric and harmonic means. Our feature is that the generators of quasi-arithmetic means are allowed to be…
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 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 purpose of this paper is to establish several necessary and sufficient conditions to ensure the validity of a general functional inequality in terms of generalized quasi-arithmetic means. In particular cases, we consider H\"older-,…
We generalize the family of $\alpha$-divergences using a pair of strictly comparable weighted means. In particular, we obtain the $1$-divergence in the limit case $\alpha\rightarrow 1$ (a generalization of the Kullback-Leibler divergence)…
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…
This paper establishes necessary and sufficient conditions for a bi-amalgamation to inherit the arithmetical property, with applications on the weak global dimension and transfer of the semihereditary property. The new results compare to…
A Boolean function is symmetric if it is invariant under all permutations of its arguments; it is quasi-symmetric if it is symmetric with respect to the arguments on which it actually depends. We present a test that accepts every…
This paper is motivated by an astonishing result of H. Alzer and S. Ruscheweyh published in 2001 in the Proc. Amer. Math. Soc., which states that the intersection of the classes two-variable Gini means and Stolarsky means is equal to the…
Motivated by recent results on beta-type functions, a new family of means, which are of logarithmic Cauchy quotient type, are determined and characterized.
Chung and Graham define quasirandom subsets of $\mathbb{Z}_n$ to be those with any one of a large collection of equivalent random-like properties. We weaken their definition and call a subset of $\mathbb{Z}_n$ $\epsilon$-balanced if its…
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…
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…
