    The main goal of this paper is to prove some new results and extend some earlier ones about functions, which possess the so called local-global minimum property. In the last section, we show an application of these in the theory of calculus of variations

    Random means generated by random variables: expectation and limit theorems

    Full text link
    We introduce the notion of a random mean generated by a random variable and give a construction of its expected value. We derive some sufficient conditions under which strong law of large numbers and some limit theorems hold for random means generated by the elements of a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables.Comment: 25 page

    Limit theorems for Bajraktarevi\'c and Cauchy quotient means of independent identically distributed random variables

    Full text link
    We derive strong law of large numbers and central limit theorems for Bajraktarevi\'c, Gini and exponential- (also called Beta-type) and logarithmic Cauchy quotient means of independent identically distributed (i.i.d.) random variables. The exponential- and logarithmic Cauchy quotient means of a sequence of i.i.d. random variables behave asymptotically normal with the usual square root scaling just like the geometric means of the given random variables. Somewhat surprisingly, the multiplicative Cauchy quotient means of i.i.d. random variables behave asymptotically in a rather different way: in order to get a non-trivial normal limit distribution a time dependent centering is needed.Comment: 25 page
