摘要

We find the greatest value p and least value q in (0, 1/2) such that the double inequality G(pa + (1 - p)b, pb + (1 - p)a) < I(a, b) < G(qa + (1 - q)b, qb + (1 - q)a) holds for all a, b > 0 with a not equal b. Here, G(a, b), and 1(a, b) denote the geometric, and identric means of two positive numbers a and b, respectively.
