On weighted extensions of Cauchy’s means

We show that every Cauchy mean in (0,∞) can be embedded into two parameter family of weighted means. Some basic properties and examples are presented. A functional equation which appears in the problem of symmetry of these means is considered. As an application a natural extension of Stolarsky’s means is obtained and a two parameter subclass of weighted power means is determined.  2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
