A quasideviation \(E \colon I \times I \to I\) is a function which meets the properties:
(i) for all \(x,u\in I\), the equality \(\text{sign} E(x,u)=\text{sign}(x-u)\) holds;
(ii) for all \(x\in I\), the mapping \(I\ni u\mapsto E(x,u)\) is continuous;
(iii) for all \(x,y\in I\) with \(x < y\), the mapping \((x,y)\ni u\mapsto\frac{E(x,u)}{E(y,u)}\) is strictly decreasing.
For a quasideviation \(E\) on \(I\), for all \(n\in\mathbb{N}\) and \(x_1,\dots,x_n\in I\), we define a \(E\)-quasideviation mean of vector \(x\) as the element \(u\in I\) such that
\[ E(x_1,u)+\dots+E(x_n,u)=0.\]
