Abstract

This paper studies asymptotic expansions of the Gaussian and Archimedean compounds of two arbitrary bivariate means that need not be symmetric. Recursive algorithms for the coefficients of such expansions were previously obtained only in the symmetric case. Here, this restriction is removed and recursions are derived for the general nonsymmetric setting. All coefficient calculations are carried out in the algebra of formal power series. This introduces an additional case in the recursion, as well as singular configurations in which the formal invariance equation does not determine the coefficients recursively. The formal problem is kept separate from the existence and convergence of the iterative procedures. We also connect the first formal coefficients with Farhi's metric, recall its known global convergence criterion, and derive the corresponding local rates. The algorithms are illustrated using weighted power means and several known identities. Finally, the method is extended to expansions with sign-dependent coefficients and is applied to the neo-Pythagorean means and to a recently introduced two-parameter family.

Average Chord Lengths in a Triangle

Let $P$ be a point inside a triangle $T$. We consider the average length of the chords of $T$ through $P$, where the direction of the chord is chosen uniformly. An elementary formula is obtained in terms of the distances from $P$ to the sides and vertices of the triangle. Several classical triangle centers give especially simple specializations. For example, if $I$ is the incenter, then \[ M_T(I)=\frac{2r}{\pi} \log\left(\cot\frac A4\cot\frac B4\cot\frac C4\right). \] Our main result is the sharp inequality \[ M_T(P)\le \frac{p}{\pi\sqrt3}\log(2+\sqrt3), \] valid simultaneously for every triangle of perimeter $p$ and every interior point $P$. Thus, among all such pairs $(T,P)$, the largest possible average chord length occurs only when $T$ is equilateral and $P$ is its center. The proof is an elementary symmetrization argument. We close with brief remarks relating the problem to the radial center of a convex body, the electrostatic potential center of a triangle, and dual quermassintegrals.

The decrease in sectional curvature of the Fisher--Rao manifold of beta distributions

In the paper, the author develops a general convexity lemma and applies it to demonstrate the monotonic decrease of a function involving polygamma functions, arising from the sectional curvature of the Fisher--Rao manifold of beta distributions.

A Proof of Liu's Conjecture on the Fundamental Triangle Inequality

Let $a,b,c$ be the side lengths of a triangle, and let $R$ and $r$ denote its circumradius and inradius, respectively. We prove a conjecture of Liu stating that \[\sum_{\mathrm{cyc}} \left(\frac{a(b+c-a)}{bc}\right)^k \geq 2+\left(\frac{2r}{R}\right)^k,~~k>1, \] with the reverse inequality for $0<k<1$. The proof reduces the problem to three positive variables with fixed sum and product. We also determine the equality cases.
