We answer the question: for α ∈ 0, 1, what are the greatest value p and the least value q such that the double inequality M a, b Pα a, bG1−α a, b M a, b holds for all a, b 0 with a b. p q / Here, Mp a, b, P a, b, and Ga, b denote the power of order p, Seiffert, and geometric means of two positive numbers a and b, respectively. 1. Introduction For p ∈ R, the power mean Mp a, b of order p and the Seiffert mean P a, b of two positive numbers a and b are defined by ⎧ p p 1/p ⎪ a b ⎪ ⎨ , p 0, / Mp a, b 2
