On the invariance of the arithmetic mean with respect to generalized Bajraktarević means
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the following invariance equation involving two 2-variable generalized Bajraktarević means, i.e., we aim to solve the functional equation f - 1 ( p 1 ( x ) f ( x ) + p 2 ( y ) f ( y ) p 1 ( x ) + p 2 ( y ) ) + g - 1 ( q 1 ( x ) g ( x ) + q 2 ( y ) g ( y )...
