    Abstract:

Given the harmonic mean $ mu$ of the numbers $ x_i$ ($ i=1,2,3$) and a $ tin (0, min{x_1,x_2,x_3}/mu})$, we determine the best power mean exponents $ p$ and $ q$ such that $ M_p(x_i- tmu) leq (1- t)mu leq M_q(x_i- tmu)$, where $ p$ and $ q$ only depend on $ t$. Also, for $ t>0$ we similarly handle the estimates $ M_p(x_i+ tmu) leq (1+ t)mu leq M_q(x_i+ tmu)$.
