Applying well properties of homogeneous functions, some monotonicity results for the ratio of two-parameter symmetric homogeneous functions are presented, which give an easier access to find two-parameter symmetric homogeneous means having ratio simple monotonicity properties proposed by L. Losonczi. As an application, a chain of inequalities of ratio of bivariate means is established. Copyright q 2009 Zhen-Hang Yang.
