The geometric mean is a Bernstein function

Feng Qi, Xiao-Jing Zhang, Wen-Hui Li

Published 2013-01-29Version 1

In the paper, the authors establish, by using Cauchy integral formula in the theory of complex functions, an integral representation for the geometric mean of $n$ positive numbers. From this integral representation, the geometric mean is proved to be a Bernstein function and a new proof of the well known AG inequality is provided.
