You are absolutely right, but the main point is that the Rational Mean is always a mean value between a_1/b_1 and a_n/b_n, no matter if (a_1/b_1) >= (a_n/b_n) or (a_1/b_1) <= (a_n/b_n). I am fixing that bug which is the result of transferring my old webpages to this new officelive website.

The look of your new officelive website is clean and attractive.
Please consider the set V = {1/2, 3/1, 1/3}, all real and all denominators positive. The definition you gave is that the Rational Mean is Mr[V] = 5/6. This doesn't fall between 1/2 and 1/3, even if these numbers be transposed.
Perhaps what you want is to impose ascending order on the elements of V.
that's right, I included the following phrase right after you sent your first message : "a set of values ordered according to their values (being a_1/b_1 < a_n/b_n).
