Continuously differentiable means

Abstract

We consider continuously differentiable means, say-means. As for quasi-arithmetic means, we need an assumption that has no stationary points so that might be continuously differentiable. Introducing quasi-weights for-means would give a satisfactory explanation for the necessity of this assumption. As a typical example of a class of-means, we observe that a skew power mean is a composition of power means if is an integer.
