As for quasi-arithmetic means Qf x1 . xn we need an assumption that f has no stationary points so that Qf might be continuously differentiable. Introducing quasi-weights for c1 -means would give a satisfactory explanation for the necessity of this assumption. As a typical example of a class of c1 -means we observe that a skew power mean Mt is a composition of power means if t is an integer. Copyright 2006 Jun Ichi Fujii et al.

Introduction Let M x1 . xn be a continuously differentiable -variable positive function on 0 to . Then throughout this paper M is called a continuously differentiable mean or shortly c1 -mean if M satisfies i M is monotone increasing in each term ii M a . a a for all positive numbers a. A mean M is called homogeneous if M satisfies M ax-Ị_ . axn aMfa . xn for all a xk 0. Almost all classical means are homogeneous c1-ones. The Kubo-Ando operator means in 6 and chaotic ones in 2 are c1-means.

Let f be a continuously differentiable monotone function on 0 to with no stationary points that is f x 0 for all x 0. In this case f 1 is also continuously differentiable. Let w wk be a weight that is a set of nonnegative numbers wk with y k wk 1. For .
