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 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]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
