function y = geo_mean( x, dim, w )

%GEO_MEAN   Geometric mean.
%   Y=GEO_MEAN(X), where X is a vector, computes the geometrix mean of X. If any
%   of the elements of X are negative, then Y=-Inf. Otherwise, it is equivalent
%   to Y=PROD(X).^(1/LENGTH(X)). All elements must be real.
%
%   For matrices, GEO_MEAN(X) is a row vector containing the geometric means of
%   the columns. For N-D arrays, GEO_MEAN(X) is an array of the geometric means
%   taken along the first non-singleton dimension of X.
%
%   GEO_MEAN(X,DIM) takes the geometric mean along the dimension DIM of X.
%
%   GEO_MEAN(X,DIM,W), where W is a vector of nonnegative integers, computes a
%   weighted geometric mean Y = PROD(X.^W)^(1/SUM(W)). This is more efficient
%   than replicating the values of X W times. Note that W must be a vector,
%   even if X is a matrix, and its length must be the same as SIZE(X,DIM).
%
%   Disciplined convex programming information:
%       GEO_MEAN is concave  and nondecreasing; therefore, when used in CVX
%       specifications, its argument must be concave.
