Abstract

We show that any quasi-arithmetic mean $A_{\varphi}$ and any non-quasi-arithmetic mean $M$ (reasonably regular) are inconsistent in the sense that the only solutions $f$ of both equations $$ f(M(x,y)) = A_{\varphi}(f(x), f(y)) $$ and $$ f(A_{\varphi}(x,y)) = M(f(x), f(y)) $$ are the constant ones.
