Abstract
For , the power mean of order of two positive numbers and is defined by , for , and , for . In this paper, we answer the question: what are the greatest value and the least value such that the double inequality holds for all and with ? Here , , and denote the classical arithmetic, geometric, and harmonic means, respectively.
Highlights
For p ∈ R, the power mean of order p of two positive numbers a and b is defined by
We prove that M2α β−1 a, b is the best possible upper power mean bound for the product Aα a, b Gβ a, b H1−α−β a, b if 2α β > 1
We prove that M0 a, b is the best possible lower power mean bound for the product Aα a, b Gβ a, b H1−α−β a, b if 2α β > 1
