On homogeneous Lagrange means

Let \(f\) be a real differentiable function in an open interval \(I\) with one-to-one derivative. We observe that if the Lagrange mean \(L^{f]}\) of a generator \(f\) is conditionally positively homogeneous, then \(f\) must be of the class \(C^{\infty }\) and the function $$\begin{aligned} g(x):=xf^{\prime }\left( x\right) -f\left( x\right) ,\quad \quad x\in I, \end{aligned}$$ is also a generator of \(L^{f]}\) i.e. that \(L^{g]}=L^{f]}.\) We show that this fact and a result on equality of two Lagrange means allow easily to determine all positively homogeneous Lagrange means.
