Optimal Inequalities between Harmonic, Geometric, Logarithmic, and Arithmetic-Geometric Means

Optimal inequalities for the power, harmonic and logarithmic means

For all $a,b>0$, the following two optimal inequalities are presented: $H^{alpha}(a,b)L^{1-alpha}(a,b)geq M_{frac{1-4alpha}{3}}(a,b)$ for $alphain[frac{1}{4},1)$, and $ H^{alpha}(a,b)L^{1-alpha}(a,b)leq M_{frac{1-4alpha}{3}}(a,b)$ for $alphain(0,frac{3sqrt{5}-5}{40}]$. Here, $H(a,b)$, $L(a,b)$, and $M_p(a,b)$ denote the harmonic, logarithmic, and power means of order $p$ of two positive numbers...

Inequalities for Generalized Logarithmic Means

For p ∈ R, the generalized logarithmic mean Lp of two positive numbers a and b is defined as Lp a, b a, for a b, LP a, b b 1 − a 1 / p 1 b − a 1/p , for a/ b, p / − 1, p / 0, LP a, b b − a / log b − loga , for a/ b, p −1, and LP a, b 1/e b/a 1/ b−a , for a/ b, p 0. In this paper, we prove that G a, b H a, b 2L−7/2 a, b , A a, b H a, b 2L−2 a, b , and L−5 a, b H a, b for all a, b > 0, and the co...

Optimal bounds for arithmetic-geometric and Toader means in terms of generalized logarithmic mean

In this paper, we find the greatest values [Formula: see text] and the smallest values [Formula: see text] such that the double inequalities [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] hold for all [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are the arithmetic-geometric, Toader and generalized logarithmic means of two posi...
