    Summary: We find the least value \(\lambda \in (0, 1)\) and the greatest value \(p = p(\alpha)\) such that \(\alpha H(a, b) + (1 - \alpha)L(a, b) > M_p (a, b)\) for \(\alpha \in [\lambda, 1)\) and all \(a, b > 0\) with \(a \neq b\), where \(H(a, b)\), \(L(a, b)\), and \(M_p(a, b)\) are the harmonic, logarithmic, and \(p\)-th power means of two positive numbers \(a\) and \(b\), respectively.
