set of functions f: R … We prove in this note that the k-allocation property assumed only for k 2
and k 3, characterizes weighted arithmetic means in the set of all averaging functions. In fact,
we obtain thefollowing more general result’ THEOREM. The function f:R -R satisfies the
k-allocation property for k 2 and k 3 and is continuous at a point or bounded from one side on
an (n-dimensional) interval or fust on a set of positive measure if and only if there exist real …
