Proofs that the Arithmetic Mean is Greater than the Geometric Mean

Generalizing the Arithmetic Geometric Mean

The paper discusses the asymptotic behavior of generalizations of the Gauss’s arithmetic-geometric mean, associated with the names Meissel (1875) and Borchardt (1876). The "hapless computer experiment" in the title refers to the fact that the author at an earlier stage thought that one had genuine asymptotic formulae but it is now shown that in general "fluctuations" are present. However, no ve...

The matrix arithmetic-geometric mean inequality revisited

An Arithmetic and Geometric Mean Invariant

A positive real interval, [a, b] can be partitioned into sub-intervals such that sub-interval widths divided by sub-interval ”‘average”’ values remains constant. That both Arithmetic Mean and Geometric Mean ”‘average”’ values produce constant ratios for the same log scale is the stated invariance proved in this short note. The continuous analog is briefly considered and shown to have similar pr...

Sharp Two Parameter Bounds for the Logarithmic Mean and the Arithmetic–geometric Mean of Gauss

For fixed s 1 and t1,t2 ∈ (0,1/2) we prove that the inequalities G(t1a + (1− t1)b,t1b+(1− t1)a)A1−s(a,b) > AG(a,b) and G(t2a+(1− t2)b,t2b+(1− t2)a)A1−s(a,b) > L(a,b) hold for all a,b > 0 with a = b if and only if t1 1/2− √ 2s/(4s) and t2 1/2− √ 6s/(6s) . Here G(a,b) , L(a,b) , A(a,b) and AG(a,b) are the geometric, logarithmic, arithmetic and arithmetic-geometric means of a and b , respectively....

Comparison of Arithmetic Mean, Geometric Mean and Harmonic Mean Derivative-Based Closed Newton Cotes Quadrature

In this paper, the computation of numerical integration using arithmetic mean (AMDCNC), geometric mean (GMDCNC) and harmonic mean (HMDCNC) derivativebased closed Newton cotes quadrature rules are compared with the existing closed Newton cotes quadrature rule (CNC). The comparison shows that, arithmetic mean-based rule gives better solution than the other two rules. This set of quadrature rules ...
