Li, Yong-Min; Long, Bo-Yong; Chu, Yu-Ming; Gong, Wei-Ming Optimal inequalities for power means. (English) Zbl 1244.26044 J. Appl. Math. 2012, Article ID 182905, 8 p. (2012). Summary: We present the best possible power mean bounds for the product \(M^\alpha_p(a, b) M^{1-\alpha}_{-p}(a, b)\) for any \(p > 0, \alpha \in (0, 1)\), and all \(a, b > 0\) with \(a \neq b\). Here, \(M_p(a, b)\) is the \(p\)th power mean of two positive numbers \(a\) and \(b\). Cited in 1 Document MSC: 26D15 Inequalities for sums, series and integrals PDF BibTeX XML Cite \textit{Y.-M.
