On the best Hardy constant for quasi-arithmetic means and homogeneous deviation means

The aim of this paper is to characterize the so-called Hardy means, i.e., those means $M\colon\bigcup_{n=1}^\infty \mathbb{R}_+^n\to\mathbb{R}_+$ that satisfy the inequality $$ \sum_{n=1}^\infty M(x_1,\dots,x_n) \le C\sum_{n=1}^\infty x_n $$ for all positive sequences $(x_n)$ with some finite positive constant $C$. The smallest constant $C$ satisfying this property is called the Hardy constant of the mean $M$. In this paper we determine the Hardy constant in the cases when the mean $M$ is either a concave quasi-arithmetic or a concave and homogeneous deviation mean.
