Abstract: | A mean M(u, v) is defined to be a homogeneous symmetric function of two positive real variables satisfying min(u, v) ? M(u, v) ? max(u, v) for all u and v. Setting M(u, v) = uM(1, vu?1) = uM(1, 1 ? t), 0 ? t < 1, we determine power series expansions in t of various generalized means, including (Stolarsky's mean), (Lehmer's mean), (Leach and Sholander's mean), and (Gini's mean). The explicit power series coefficients and recurrence relations for these coefficients are found. Finally, applications are shown by proving a theorem that generalizes one due to Lehmer. |
