  • Based on Ricatti equation $XA^{-1}X=B$ for two (positive invertible) operators A and B which has the geometric mean $A{\sharp}B$ as its solution, we consider a cubic equation $X(A{\sharp}B)^{-1}X(A{\sharp}B)^{-1}X=C$ for A, B and C. The solution X = $(A{\sharp}B){\sharp}_{\frac{1}{3}}C$ is a candidate of the geometric mean of the three operators. However, this solution is not invariant under permutation unlike the geometric mean of two operators. To supply the lack of the property, we adopt a limiting process due to Ando-Li-Mathias. We define reasonable geometric means of k operators for all integers $k{\geq}2$ by induction. For three positive operators, in particular, we define the weighted geometric mean as an extension of that of two operators.

  • A weighted version of the geometric mean of k ($\geq\;3$) positive invertible operators is given. For operators $A_1,{\ldots},A_k$ and for nonnegative numbers ${\alpha}_1,\ldots,{\alpha}_k$ such that $\sum_\limits_{i=1}^k\;\alpha_i=1$, we define weighted geometric means of two types, the first type by a direct construction through symmetrization procedure, and the second type by an indirect construction through the non-weighted (or uniformly weighted) geometric mean. Both of them reduce to $A_1^{\alpha_1}{\cdots}A_k^{{\alpha}_k}$ if $A_1,{\ldots},A_k$ commute with each other. The first type does not have the property of permutation invariance, but satisfies a weaker one with respect to permutation invariance. The second type has the property of permutation invariance. We also show a reverse inequality for the arithmetic-geometric mean inequality of the weighted version.

  • Taking the weighted geometric mean [11] on the cone of positive definite matrix, we propose an iterative mean algorithm involving weighted arithmetic and geometric means of $n$-positive definite matrices which is a weighted version of Carlson mean presented by Lee and Lim [13]. We show that each sequence of the weigthed Carlson iterative mean algorithm has a common limit and the common limit of satisfies weighted multidimensional versions of all properties like permutation symmetry, concavity, monotonicity, homogeneity, congruence invariancy, duality, mean inequalities.

  • To extend the well-known extremal characterization of the geometric mean of two n × n positive definite matrices A and B, we solve the following problem: $${\max}\{X:X=X^*,\;\(\array{A&V&X\\V&B&W\\X&W&C}\){\geq}0\}$$. We find an explicit expression of the maximum value with respect to the matrix geometric mean of Schur complements.

  • We review the characteristics of a geometric mean and statistical inferences based on geometric means. We also show that the statistical results obtained by the logarithmic transform and back-transformation are related to geometric means and explain how to interpret the results produced in this process.

  • In school mathematics, the concept of an average is not a concept that is limited to a unit of statistics. In particular, high school students will learn about arithmetic mean and geometric mean in the process of learning absolute inequality. In calculus learning, the concept of average is involved when learning the concept of average speed. The arithmetic mean is the same as the procedure used when students mean the test scores. However, the procedure for obtaining the geometric mean differs from the procedure for the arithmetic mean. In addition, if the arithmetic mean and the geometric mean are the discrete quantity, then the mean rate of change or the average speed is different in that it considers continuous quantities. The average concept that students learn in school mathematics differs in the quantitative nature of procedures and objects. Nevertheless, it is not uncommon to find out how students construct various mathematical concepts into mathematical knowledge. This study focuses on this point and conducted the interviews of the students(three) in the second grade of high school. And the expression of students in the process of average concept formation in arithmetic mean, geometric mean, average speed. This study can be meaningful because it suggests practical examples to students about the assertion that various scholars should experience various properties possessed by the average. It is also meaningful that students are able to think about how to construct the mean conceptual properties inherent in terms such as geometric mean and mean speed in arithmetic mean concept through interview data.

  • In this paper, we give some sufficient conditions for convergence of geometric mean for T-related fuzzy numbers where T is an Archimedean t-norm under some mild restrictions. These results generalize earlier results of Hong and Lee [Fuzzy Sets and Systems 116 (2000) 263-267].

  • The original geometric mean of two positive definite operators A and B is given by A#B = A1/2(A-1/2BA-1/2)1/2A1/2. In this article we provide a new proof to construct from the two-variable geometric mean to the multivariable mean via symmetrization introduced by Lawson and Lim [5]. Finally we provide an algorithm to find three-variable geometric mean via symmetrization, which plays an important role to construct higher-order geometric means.
