The Optimal Upper and Lower Power Mean Bounds for a Convex Combination of the Arithmetic and Logarithmic Means

For p∈ℝ, the power mean Mp(a,b) of order p, logarithmic mean L(a,b), and arithmetic mean A(a,b) of two positive real values a and b are defined by Mp(a,b)=((ap+bp)/2)1/p, for p≠0 and Mp(a,b)=ab, for p=0, L(a,b)=(b-a)/(log⁡b-log⁡a), for a≠b and L(a,b)=a, for a=b and A(a,b)=(a+b)/2, respectively. In t...
