Sharp bounds for a special quasi-arithmetic mean in terms of arithmetic and geometric means with two parameters

Abstract

Abstract In the article, we present the best possible parameters λ = λ ( p ) $\lambda=\lambda (p)$ and μ = μ ( p ) $\mu=\mu(p)$ on the interval [ 0 , 1 / 2 ] $[0, 1/2]$ such that the double inequality G p [ λ a + ( 1 − λ ) b , λ b + ( 1 − λ ) a ] A 1 − p ( a , b ) 0 $a, b>0$ with a ≠ b $a\neq b$ , where A ( a , b ) = ( a + b ) / 2 $A(a, b)=(a+b)/2$ , G ( a , b ) = a b $G(a,b)=\sqrt{ab}$ and E ( a , b ) = [ 2 ∫ 0 π / 2 a cos 2 θ + b sin 2 θ d θ / π ] 2 $E(a,b)=[2\int_{0}^{\pi /2}\sqrt{a\cos^{2}\theta+b\sin^{2}\theta}\,d\theta/\pi]^{2}$ are the arithmetic, geometric and special quasi-arithmetic means of a and b, respectively.
