Abstract. For $a,b>0$, the arithmetic mean $A(a,b)$, logarithmic mean $L(a,b)$ and Seiffert's mean $P(a,b)$ are defined by

\begin{displaymath} A(a,b)=\frac{a+b}{2},\quad L(a,b)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} ... ...c{b-a}{\log b-\log a},&b\neq a,\\ a,& b=a \end{array}\right.\end{displaymath}

and

\begin{displaymath}P(a,b)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} \frac{a-b}{4\arctan\sqrt{\frac{a}{b}}-\pi},&b\neq a,\\ a,&b=a,\end{array}\right. \end{displaymath}

respectively.

In this paper we find the greatest value $\alpha$ and least value $\beta$ such that inequality $A^{\alpha}(a,b)L^{1-\alpha}(a,b)<P(a,b)<A^{\beta}(a,b)L^{1-\beta}(a,b)$ holds for all $a,b>0$ with $a\neq b$.
