Abstract

The arc lemniscate sine function is given by \mboxarcsl(x)=0x11t4dt. \mbox{arcsl}(x)=\int_0^x \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-t^4}}dt. In 2017, Mahmoud and Agarwal presented bounds for \mboxarcsl\mbox{arcsl} in terms of the Lerch zeta function Φ(z,s,a)=k=0zk(k+a)s. \Phi(z,s,a)=\sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac {z^k}{(k+a)^s}. They proved 18xΦ(x4,3/2,1/4)<\mboxarcsl(x)<14xΦ(x4,3/2,1/4)(0<x<1). \frac{1}{8} \, x \, \Phi(x^4, 3/2, 1/4) < \mbox{arcsl}(x)< \frac{1}{4} \, x \, \Phi(x^4,3/2,1/4)\qquad{(0<x<1)}. We %use the monotone form of l'Hopital's rule to show that the factor 1/41/4 can be replaced by \mboxarcsl(1)/Φ(1,3/2,1/4)=0.12836...\mbox{arcsl}(1)/\Phi(1,3/2,1/4)=0.12836.... This constant is best possible.
