For p e R the generalized logarithmic mean Lp a b arithmetic mean A a b and geometric mean G a b of two positive numbers a and b are defined by Lp a b a a b Lp a b ap 1 - bp 1 p 1 a - b 1 p p 0 p - 1 a ẹb Lp a b 1 e bb aa 1 b-a p 0 a b Lp a b b - a in b - ln a p -1 a b A a b a b 2 and G a b Vab respectively. In this paper we give an answer to the open problem for a e 0 1 what are the greatest value p and the least value q such that the double inequality Lp a b Ga a b A1-a a b Lq a b holds for all a b 0 1. Introduction For p e R the generalized logarithmic mean Lp a b of two positive numbers a and b is defined by a b Lp a b ap 1 - bp 1 11 p p 1 a - b 1 bb 1 b-a e aa b - a ln b - ln a p 0 p - 1 a b p 0 a b p -1 a b. It is wellknown that Lp a b is continuous and increasing with respect to p e R for fixed a and b. In the recent past the generalized logarithmic mean has been the subject of 2 Journal of Inequalities and Applications intensive research. Many remarkable inequalities and monotonicity results can be found in the literature 1-9 . It might be surprising that the generalized logarithmic mean has applications in physics economics and even in meteorology 10-13 . If we denote by A a b a b 2 I a b 1 e bb aa y d -b L a b b-a ln bln a G a b Vab and H a b 2ab a b the arithmetic mean identric
