Heinz mean
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:
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:
The Heinz mean may also be defined in the same way for positive semidefinite matrices, and satisfies a similar interpolation formula.[3][4]
