contrageometric proportion


Just as one converts the proportion equation

m-xy-m=xy

defining the harmonic meanMathworldPlanetmath of x and y into the proportion equation

m-xy-m=yx

defining their contraharmonicmean (http://planetmath.org/ContraharmonicProportion), one also may convert the proportionequation

m-xy-m=my

defining the geometric meanMathworldPlanetmath into a new equation

m-xy-m=ym(1)

defining the contrageometric mean m of x and y.  Thus, thethree positive numbers x, m, y satisfying (1) are in contrageometric proportion.  One integer example is1, 4, 6.

Solving m from (1) one gets the expression

m=x-y+(x-y)2+4y22=:f(x,y).(2)

Suppose now that  0xy.  Using (2) we see that

mx-y+02+4y22=x+y2x,
y2-m2=-(y-x)2+(y-x)(x-y)2+4y22=(y-x)[(y-x)2+4y2-(y-x)]2 0,

accordingly

xf(x,y)y.(3)

Thus the contrageometric mean of x and y also is at least equal totheir arithmetic meanMathworldPlanetmath.  We can also compare m with their quadratic mean by watching the difference

(x2+y22)2-m2=(y-x)(12(y-x)2+4y2-y) 0.

So we have

x+y2f(x,y)x2+y22.(4)

Cf. this result with the comparison of Pythagorean means (http://planetmath.org/ComparisonOfPythagoreanMeans); there the brown curve is the graph of  f(x, 1).

It’s clear that the contrageometric mean (2) is not symmetric withrespect to the variables x and y, contrary to the other types ofmeans in general.  On the other hand, the contrageometric mean is, as other types of means, a first-degree homogeneous function its arguments:

f(tx,ty)=tf(x,y).(5)
