Home > Geometric-harmonic mean

In mathematics, the geometric-harmonic mean M(x, y) of two positive real numbers x and y is defined as follows: we first form the geometric mean of x and y and call it g1, i.e. g1 is the square root of xy. We then form the harmonic mean of x and y and call it h1, i.e. h1 is the reciprocal of the arithmetic mean of the reciprocals of x and y.

Now we can iterate this operation with g1 taking the place of x and h1 taking the place of y. In this way, two sequences (gn) and (hn) are defined:

and

Both of these sequences converge to the same number, which we call the geometric-harmonic mean M(x, y) of x and y.

M(x, y) is a number between the geometric and harmonic mean of x and y; in particular it is between x and y. If r > 0, then M(rx, ry) = r M(x, y).

Geometric isomerismIn chemistry, geometric isomerism is a form of stereoisomerism and describes the orientation of functional groups at the ends of a bond around which no rotation is possible. Such bonds are typically double bonds, but they can also be part of a ring structGeometric algebraIn mathematics, David Hestenes et al. s geometric algebra [H1999] is a reinterpretation of Clifford algebras over the reals (said to be a return to the original name and interpretation intended by William Clifford).
