Combinatorics 2015-05-27 v2

Abstract

Let {Pn}n0\{P_n\}_{n\geq 0} denote the Catalan-Larcombe-French sequence, which naturally came up from the series expansion of the complete elliptic integral of the first kind. In this paper, we prove the strict log-concavity of the sequence {Pnn}n1\{\sqrt[n]{P_n}\}_{n\geq 1}, which was originally conjectured by Sun. We also obtain the strict log-concavity of the sequence {Vnn}n1\{\sqrt[n]{V_n}\}_{n\geq 1}, where {Vn}n0\{V_n\}_{n\geq 0} is the Fennessey-Larcombe-French sequence arising in the series expansion of the complete elliptic integral of the second kind.
