Inequalities between Power Means and Convex Combinations of the Harmonic and Logarithmic Means
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.
