Abstract

For p R, the generalized logarithmic mean Lp(a, b) and Seiffert's mean T(a, b) of two positive real numbers a and b are defined in (1.1) and (1.2) below respectively. In this paper, we find the greatest p and least q such that the double-inequality Lp(a, b) <T(a, b) < Lq(a, b) holds for all a, b > 0 and a ≠ b.
