We prove thatαH(a,b)+(1−α)L(a,b)>M(1−4α)/3(a,b)forα∈(0,1)and alla,b>0witha≠bif and only ifα∈[1/4,1)andαH(a,b)+(1−α)L(a,b)<M(1−4α)/3(a,b)if and only ifα∈(0,3345/80−11/16), and the parameter(1−4α)/3is the best possible in either case. Here,H(a,b)=2ab/(a+b),L(a,b)=(a−b)/(log a−log b), andMp(a,b)=((ap+bp)/2)1/p(p≠0)andM0(a,b)=abare the harmonic, logarithmic, andpth power means ofaandb, respectively.

We find the least valueλ∈(0,1)and the greatest valuep=p(α)such thatαH(a,b)+(1−α)L(a,b)>Mp(a,b)forα∈[λ,1)and alla,b>0witha≠b, whereH(a,b),L(a,b), andMp(a,b)are the harmonic, logarithmic, andp-th power means of two positive numbersaandb, respectively.

For a long time,users electic larceny has been a headache topic of the electric power department.The users long-term electic larceny has brought great economic loss to the power supply department.In recent years,the stealing power means are emerging in an endless stream,and they have been broght mant difficulties to prevent electic larceny.But the road is high one feet evil spirite is high one a unit of lengh, according to the study on electic energy meter,we will understand the electic larceny means at the sours.Therefore, further study of stealing power means is also our current priority,only the better anti-stealing electic power means, can be completely blocked leak.

Abstract Each family ℳ of means has a natural, partial order (point-wise order), that is M ≤ N iff M(x) ≤ N(x) for all admissible x. In this setting we can introduce the notion of interval-type set (a subset ℐ ⊂ℳ such that whenever M ≤ P ≤ N for some M, N ∈ℐ and P ∈ℳ then P ∈ℐ). For example, in the case of power means there exists a natural isomorphism between interval-type sets and intervals contained in real numbers. Nevertheless there appear a number of interesting objects for a families which cannot be linearly ordered. In the present paper we consider this property for Gini means and Hardy means. Moreover, some results concerning L∞ metric among (abstract) means will be obtained.

This chapter offers a new version of popular “insurance” models of judicial independence, in which the competitiveness of the electoral arena induces leaders to prefer more independent courts, as a means of offering policy and personal security if they lose power. That is, paying the “premium” of increased constraints on behavior imposed by independent courts now for the insurance of protection in the future if out of office. The crux of the argument is that the risks associated with losing power in autocratic regimes are greater than in democracies, and therefore competition should be more salient in dictatorships than democracies. The stakes are higher because autocratic power means access to wealth and state resources in a way rarely equaled in democratic regimes, and more importantly the likelihood of being punished after leaving office is greater for former autocrats. Judiciaries exercising greater independence, however, can minimize the risks of being a former leader, and the chapter leverages this finding to develop an expected utility model, the empirical implication of which is higher salience of competition—when present—in autocracies. Unlike previous theories of how competition affects independence, this model integrates both the likelihood of losing office and the risks associated with such an outcome, and thus allows us to examine the phenomena across the democracy/dictatorship divide.
