On the best Hardy constant for quasi-arithmetic means and homogeneous deviation means. (English) Zbl 1384.26058

Summary: The aim of this paper is to characterize the so-called Hardy means, i.e., those means \(M : \bigcup^\infty_{n=1}\mathbb{R}^n_+ \to \mathbb{R}_+\) that satisfy the inequality \[ \sum^\infty_{n=1} M (x_1,\ldots,x_n) \leqslant C \sum^\infty_{n=1} X_n \] for all positive sequences \((X_n)\) with some finite positive constant \(C\). The smallest constant \(C\) satisfying this property is called the Hardy constant of the mean \(M\).
In this paper we determine the Hardy constant in the cases when the mean \(M\) is either a concave quasi-arithmetic or a concave and homogeneous deviation mean.
