Log-behavior of two sequences related to the elliptic integrals

Combinatorics 2017-04-11 v4

Abstract

Two interesting sequences arose in the study of the series expansions of the complete elliptic integrals, which are called the Catalan-Larcombe-French sequence {Pn}n0\{P_n\}_{n\geq 0} and the Fennessey-Larcombe-French sequence {Vn}n0\{V_n\}_{n\geq 0} respectively. In this paper, we prove the log-convexity of {Vn2Vn1Vn+1}n2\{V_n^2-V_{n-1}V_{n+1}\}_{n\geq 2} and {n!Vn}n1\{n!V_n\}_{n\geq 1}, the ratio log-concavity of {Pn}n0\{P_n\}_{n\geq 0} and the sequence {An}n0\{A_n\}_{n\geq 0} of Ap\'{e}ry numbers, and the ratio log-convexity of {Vn}n1\{V_n\}_{n\geq 1}.
