Uniqueness of simultaneously stabilizable and stabilized means

Let KK, MM, and NN be means, and let GG denote the geometric mean. For means AA and BB, write ABA\otimes B for their indicated mean composition. Uniqueness conjecture for stabilizable and stabilized means.

If mean NN is simultaneously (K,M)(K,M)- and (M,K)(M,K)-stabilizable, then N=K=MN=K=M. If mean MM is simultaneously (K,N)(K,N)- and (N,K)(N,K)-stabilized, then either M=K=NM=K=N or M=G=KNM=G=K\otimes N. If mean MM is simultaneously (K,N)(K,N)-stabilizable and (K,N)(K,N)-stabilized, then M=K=NM=K=N.

These assertions summarize consequences suggested by the asymptotic equalities developed in the paper. The supplied text does not state whether they have been proved or remain open.
