Mean in mathematics
In mathematics, the Heinz mean (named after E. Heinz[1]) of two non-negative real numbers A and B, was defined by Bhatia[2] as:
![{\displaystyle \operatorname {H} _{x}(A,B)={\frac {A^{x}B^{1-x}+A^{1-x}B^{x}}{2}},}](https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/media/math/render/svg/7ba32b8479b2a94b2f1365ab5417ca68fa729e9f)
with 0 ≤ x ≤ 1/2.
For different values of x, this Heinz mean interpolates between the arithmetic (x = 0) and geometric (x = 1/2) means such that for 0 < x < 1/2:
![{\displaystyle {\sqrt {AB}}=\operatorname {H} _{\frac {1}{2}}(A,B)<\operatorname {H} _{x}(A,B)<\operatorname {H} _{0}(A,B)={\frac {A+B}{2}}.}](https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/media/math/render/svg/08093290583ea109f48ecfb343d6df319d96964f)
The Heinz means appear naturally when symmetrizing
-divergences.[3]
It may also be defined in the same way for positive semidefinite matrices, and satisfies a similar interpolation formula.[4][5]
