ROCKY MOUNTAIN JOURNAL OF MATHEMATICS Volume 36, Number 3, 2006 MONOTONICITY PROPERTIES AND INEQUALITIES OF FUNCTIONS RELATED TO MEANS CHAO-PING CHEN AND FENG QI ABSTRACT. In this paper, monotonicity properties of functions related to means are discussed and some inequal- ities are established. 1. Introduction. The generalized logarithmic mean (Stolarsky mean) Lr (a, b) of two positive numbers a, b is defined in [1, 2] for a = b by Lr (a, b) = a and for a = b by Lr (a, b) br+1 − ar+1 1/r , r = −1, 0; (r + 1)(b − a) b − a L−1 (a, b) = L(a, b); ln b − ln a b 1/(b−a) 1 b L0 (a, b) = a I (a, b), e a when a = b, Lr (a, b) is a strictly increasing function of r . Clearly, L1 (a, b) A(a, b), L−2 (a, b) G(a, b), where A and G are the arithmetic and geometric means, respectively. The logarithmic mean L(a, b) is generalized to the one-parameter mean in [3]: r (br+1 − ar+1) Jr (a, b) r r , a = b, r = 0, −1; (r + 1)(b − a ) J0 (a, b) L(a, b); [G(a, b)]2 J−1 (a, b) ; L(a, b) Jr (a, a) a, AMS Mathematics Subject Classification.
