This is mainly a subfield of Mathematical analysis, but one can find here also applications in various other fields as Number theory, Numerical analysis, Trigonometry, Networks, Information theory, etc. The material is divided into six chapters: Classical means; Logarithmic, identric and related means; Integral inequalities and means; Means and their Ky Fan type inequalities; Stolarsky and Gini means; and Sequential means. Chapter 1 deals essentially with the classical means, including the arithmetic, geometric, harmonic means of two or more numbers and the relations connecting them. One can find here more new proofs of the classical arithmetic mean-geometric mean-harmonic mean inequality, as well as their weighted version. The famous Sierpinski inequality connect- ing these means, or applications of the simple Bernoulli inequality offer strong refinements of these results, including the important Popoviciu and Rado type inequalities. One of the subjects is the log-convexity prop- erties of the power means, which is applied so frequently in mathematics. The chapter contains also applications of some results for certain arith- metic functions, the theory of Euler's constant e, or electrical network theory. The largest chapter of the book is Chapter 2 on the identric, logarith- mic and related means. These special means play a fundamental role in the study of many general means, including certain exponential, integral 9 means, or Stolarsky and Gini means, etc. There are considered various identities or inequalities involving these means, along with strong refine- ments of results known in the literature. Monotonicity, convexity and subhomogeneity properties are also studied. Series representations, and their applications are also considered. Applications for certain interesting logarithmic inequalities, having importance in other fields of mathemat- ics, or in the entropy theory are also provided. Chapter 3 contains many important integral inequalities, as the Cauchy-Bouniakowski integral inequality, the Hadamard (or Hermite- Hadamard) integral inequalities, the Jensen integral inequality, etc. Re- finements, as well as generalizations or extensions of these inequalities are considered. As the inequalities offer in fact results for the integral mean of a function, many consequences or applications for special means are obtained. The classical monotonicity notion and its extension of sec- tion 1 give in a surprising manner interesting and nice results for means. The Jensen functionals considered in the last section, offer very general results with many applications. Chapter 4 studies the famous Ky Fan type inequalities. As this in- equality contains in a limiting case the arithmetic mean-geometric mean inequality, these results are connected with Chapter 1. However, here one obtains a more detailed and complicated study of these inequalities, involving many new means. Section 1 presents one of the author's early results, rediscovered later by other authors, namely the equivalence of Ky Fan's inequality with Henrici's inequality. Extensions, converses, re- finements are also provided. The related Wang-Wang inequality is also considered. Ky Fan type inequalities will be considered also in Chapter 5, on the Stolarsky and Gini means. These general means are studied extensively in sections 7 and 9 of this chapter. Particular cases, as the generalized logarithmic means, and a particular Gini mean, which is also a weighted geometric mean, are included, too. This last mean is strongly related, by 10 an identity, with the identric mean of Chapter 2, and has many connec- tions with other means, so plays a central role in many results. Finally, Chapter 6 deals with means, called by the author as \sequen- tial means", which may be viewed essentially as the common limit of certain recurrent sequences. These are the famous arithmetic-geometric mean of Gauss, the Schwab-Borchardt mean, etc. Here the classical loga- rithmic mean is considered also as a such mean, and many other famous particular means, as the Seiffert means, or the Neuman-S´andormean, are studied. Two new means of the author are introduced in the last section. These means have today a growing literature, and their importance is recognized by specialists of the field. All sections in all chapters are based on the author's original papers, published in various national and international journals. We have in- cluded a \Final references" section with the titles of the most important publications of the author in the theory of means. The book is concluded with an author index, focused on articles (and not pages). A citation of type I.2(3) shows that the respective author is cited three times in section 2 of chapter 1. Finally, we wish to mention the importance of this domain of mathe- matics. Usually, researchers encounter in their studies the need of certain bounds, which essentially may be reduced to a relation between means.

    Three Problems of the Theory of Choice on Random Sets

    DIVISION OF THE HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY PASADENA, CALIFORNIA 91125 THREE PROBLEMS OF THE THEORY OF CHOICE ON RANDOM SETS B. A. Berezovskiy,* Yu. M. Baryshnikov, A. Gnedin V. Institute of Control Sciences Academy of Sciences of the U.S.S.R, Moscow *Guest of the California Institute of Technology SOCIAL SCIENCE WORKING PAPER 661 December 1987 THREE PROBLEMS OF THE THEORY OF CHOICE ON RANDOM SETS B. A. Berezovskiy, Yu. M. Baryshnikov, A. V. Gnedin Institute of Control Sciences Academy of Sciences of the U.S.S.R., Moscow ABSTRACT This paper discusses three problems which are united not only by the common topic of research stated in thetitle, but also by a somewhat surprising interlacing of the methods and techniques used. In the first problem, an attempt is made to resolve a very unpleasant metaproblem arising in general choice theory: why theconditions of rationality are not really necessary or, in other words, why in every-day life we are quite satisfied with choice methods which are far from being ideal. The answer, substantiated by a number of results, is as follows: situations in which the choice function "misbehaves" are very seldom met in large presentations. the second problem, an overview of our studies is given on the problem of statistical propertiesIn of choice. One of themost astonishing phenomenon found when we deviate from scalar­ extremal choice functions is in stable multiplicity of choice. If our presentation is random, then a random number of alternatives is chosen in it. But how many? The answer isn't trival, and may be sought in many differentdirections.

  • The Halász-Székely Barycenter

    The Halász-Székely Barycenter

    THE HALÁSZ–SZÉKELY BARYCENTER JAIRO BOCHI, GODOFREDO IOMMI, AND MARIO PONCE Abstract. We introduce a notion of barycenter of a probability measure re- lated to the symmetric mean of a collection of nonnegative real numbers. Our definition is inspired by the work of Halász and Székely, who in 1976 proved a law of large numbers for symmetric means. We study analytic properties of this Halász–Székely barycenter. We establish fundamental inequalities that relate the symmetric mean of a list of nonnegative real numbers with the barycenter of the measure uniformly supported on these points. As consequence, we go on to establish an ergodic theorem stating that the symmetric means of a se- quence of dynamical observations converges to the Halász–Székely barycenter of the corresponding distribution. 1. Introduction Means have fascinated man for a long time. Ancient Greeks knew the arith- metic, geometric, and harmonic means of two positive numbers (which they may have learned from the Babylonians); they also studied other types of means that can be defined using proportions: see [He, pp. 85–89]. Newton and Maclaurin en- countered the symmetric means (more about them later). Huygens introduced the notion of expected value and Jacob Bernoulli proved the first rigorous version of the law of large numbers: see [Mai, pp. 51, 73]. Gauss and Lagrange exploited the connection between the arithmetico-geometric mean and elliptic functions: see [BB]. Kolmogorov and other authors considered means from an axiomatic point of view and determined when a mean is arithmetic under a change of coordinates (i.e. quasiarithmetic): see [HLP, p.

Various types of invariance we propose a quasi-score that measures global deformation of our formulation of an average are examined in regard to and provides a generic way to compare statistical methods practical applications of it. The average is examined with of shape analysis. relation to a Fréchet mean in order to establish its valid- As D’Arcy Thompson pointed in [50], there is an impor- ity.
