Abstract: Abstract Means which are the sum of single variable functions are considered. It is shown among other that if such a mean is weighted quasi-arithmetic, or subtranslative or subadditive then it must be a weighted quasi-arithmetic mean. Conditions under which the functions of the form f(x) = ax + b are affine or convex with respect to such a mean are presented. Invariance of a weighted arithmetic mean with respect to the relevant mean-type mappings is considered. Some open problems are presented.
