The exponent-range conjecture for the four classical means
The exponent-range conjecture for the four classical means
Let and be positive real numbers, and let
For a real number , consider the inequality
Exponent-range conjecture for the four classical means. The inequality holds for every negative real number and every real number . Moreover, for every real number , neither this inequality nor its converse holds universally for all positive real numbers and . The conjecture asks for the complete real-exponent range of validity of the inequality; the source provides computational and graphical evidence but no resolution.
