Abstract: | Summary. In this paper we determine all iseomorphic pairs (isomorphicpairs with monotonic, thus continuous isomorphisms) ofcontinuous, strictly increasing, linearly homogeneous functions defined oncartesian squares I 2 and J 2 of intervals of positive numbers or on their restrictions or and or We prove that, if the iseomorphy is nontrivial, then eachhomogeneous function is a (weighted) geometric or power mean or ajoint pair of such means.In functional equations terminology this means that all nontrivialcontinuous strictly increasing linearly homogeneous solutions G, H(with the continuous strictly monotonic F also unknown) of theequation on D < or D >are weighted geometric or power means, while onI 2 they are joint pairs of weighted geometric means or of weightedpower means. |
