Does this family of sequences have the limit $\left(\frac{x^{2p}-y^{2p}}{2p(\ln x-\ln y)} \right)^{1/2p}$ for $p \in \mathbb{R}$?

Define the following family of one parameter sequences:

$$a_0=x,~~~b_0=y$$

$$a_{n+1}=\sqrt{a_n \sqrt[p]{\frac{a_n^p+b_n^p}{2}}},~~~b_{n+1}=\sqrt{b_n \sqrt[p]{\frac{a_n^p+b_n^p}{2}}}$$

I conjecture that this family of sequences has the limit:

$$L_p(x,y)=\left(\frac{x^{2p}-y^{2p}}{2p(\ln x-\ln y)} \right)^{\dfrac{1}{2p}}$$


The proof:

$$\ln a_n-\ln b_n=\frac{\ln x-\ln y}{2^n}=\frac{\delta_1}{2^n} \tag{1}$$

$$a_n^{2p}-b_n^{2p}=(a_{n-1}^p-b_{n-1}^p)\frac{a_{n-1}^p+b_{n-1}^p}{2}=\frac{x^{2p}-y^{2p}}{2^n}=\frac{\delta_2}{2^n} \tag{2}$$


From $(2)$:

$$2p \ln a_n=2p \ln b_n+\ln \left(1+\frac{\delta_2}{2^nb_n^{2p}} \right)$$

From $(1)$:

$$2p \ln a_n=2p \ln b_n+\frac{2p\delta_1}{2^n}$$


$$\ln \left(1+\frac{\delta_2}{2^nb_n^{2p}} \right)=\frac{2p\delta_1}{2^n} \tag{3}$$

Assuming $2^nb_n^{2p} \to \infty$ at $n \to \infty$ we expand the logarithm, considering only the first term:

$$\frac{\delta_2}{2^nb_n^{2p}}+O\left(\frac{1}{2^{2n}} \right)=\frac{2p\delta_1}{2^n}$$

$$\lim_{n \to \infty} b_n=\left(\frac{\delta_2}{2p \delta_1} \right)^{\dfrac{1}{2p}}=\left(\frac{x^{2p}-y^{2p}}{2p(\ln x-\ln y)} \right)^{\dfrac{1}{2p}} \tag{4}$$


Is this proof correct for any $p \in \mathbb{R}$?

How would I know that $2^nb_n^{2p} \to \infty$, i.e. $b_n^{2p}$ doesn't vanish?

Does the mean defined by $(4)$ has a special name?

Also, do you know other such parametric families of sequences, related to means?

The case $p=\frac{1}{2}$ is familiar and appeared in my recent question.
