Abstract: A Gauss type functional equation is related to means. Gauss initially discussed a functional equation in terms of arithmetic mean and geometric mean. Haruki and Rassias studied a Gauss type functional equation with arithmetic mean and harmo nic mean using the Gaussian principle. Toader presented a Gauss type functional equation with power mean. Liu Zheng discussed a functional equation in terms of geometric mean and harmonic mean. However, none of these are associated with all the four means. This paper discusses a Gauss type functional equation having four Φi(i=1,2,3,4) means, and generalize the results of arithmetic mean, geometric mean, harmonic mean, and power mean.

Key words: weighted, Φi mean, Gauss funtional equation
