Generalization of the harmonic weighted mean via Pythagorean invariance identity and application

Peter Kahlig , Janusz Matkowski

Abstract

Under some simple conditions on the real functions f and g defined on an interval I⊂(0,∞), the two-place functions A_f(x; y) = f (x)+y-f (y) and Gg(x; y) = \frac{g(x)}{g(y)}y generalize, respectively, A and G, the classical weighted arithmetic and geometric means. In this note, basing on the invariance identity G ◦ (H,A) = G (equivalent to the Pythagorean harmony proportion), a suitable
weighted extension H_f,g of the classical harmonic mean H is introduced. An open problem concerning the symmetry of H_f,g is proposed. As an application a method of effective solving of some functional equations involving means is presented.

Keywords:
