Characterization of generalized quasi-arithmetic means

Abstract

In this paper we characterize generalized quasi-arithmetic means, that is means of the form $M(x_1,...,x_n):=(f_1+...+f_n{)}^{-1}(f_1(x_1)+...+f_n(x_n))$, where $f_1,...,f_n:I\to \mathbb{R}$ are strictly increasing and continuous functions. Our characterization involves the Gauss composition of the cyclic mean-type mapping induced by $M$ and a generalized bisymmetry equation.
