Description
In this talk we will study the different ways the power means of positive numbers can be extended to means of positive definite matrices. Then, we will analyze the properties these means satisfy. Among these properties, we will be interested in analytic properties such as monotonicity and convexity. Using these results, we will compare the power means with other interpolations between the Arithmetic-Geometric-Harmonic means.
