You can't get the geometric average when n = 3. Knowing the arithmetic and quadratic average of three numbers ( x , y , z ) is equivalent to knowing x + y + z and x 2 + y 2 + z 2 , while knowing the geometric average means knowing x y z. If xyz were a function of the other two, its gradient at any point would be a linear combination of the other two gradients. But
( x + y + z ) = ( 1 , 1 , 1 ) ( x 2 + y 2 + z 2 ) = 2 ( x , y , z ) ( x y z ) = ( y z , x z , x y )
At ( x , y , z ) = ( 1 , 2 , 3 ), say, the three gradients are linearly independent.

It's not possible for the geometric average, there are infinitely many solutions depending on the number of observations.
