- Chisini mean
-
In mathematics, a function f of n variables
- x1, ..., xn
leads to a Chisini mean M if for every vector <x1 ... xn>, there exists a unique M such that
- f(M,M, ..., M) = f(x1,x2, ..., xn).
The arithmetic, harmonic, geometric, generalised, Heronian and quadratic means are all Chisini means, as are their weighted variants.
