Sharp double inequality for complete elliptic integral of the first kind

Classical Analysis and ODEs 2021-04-26 v1

Abstract

For r(0,1)r\in(0,1), the function \K(r)=0π/2(1r2sin2t)1/2dt\K(r)=\int_0^{\pi/2}(1-r^2\sin^2t)^{-1/2}dt is known as the complete elliptic integral of the first kind. In this paper, we prove the absolute monotonicity of two functions involving \K(r)\K(r). As a consequence, we improve Alzer and Richards' result.
