ANSWERS TO THREE CONJECTURES ON CONVEXITY OF THREE FUNCTIONS INVOLVING COMPLETE ELLIPTIC INTEGRALS OF THE FIRST KIND

In the article, we prove that the function x → ( 1 − x ) p K ( x ) is logarithmically concave on (0, 1) if and only if p ≥ 7/32, the function x → K ( x ) / log ( 1 + 4 / 1 − x ) is convex on (0, 1) and the function x → d 2 d x 2 [ K ( x ) − log ( 1 + 4 1 − x ) ] is absolutely monotonic on (0, 1), wh...

Summary:In the article, we prove that the function x → ( 1 − x ) p K ( x ) is logarithmically concave on (0, 1) if and only if p ≥ 7/32, the function x → K ( x ) / log ( 1 + 4 / 1 − x ) is convex on (0, 1) and the function x → d 2 d x 2 [ K ( x ) − log ( 1 + 4 1 − x ) ] is absolutely monotonic on (0, 1), where K ( x ) = ∫ 0 π / 2 ( 1 − x 2 sin 2 t ) − 1 / 2 d t is the complete elliptic integral of the first kind.
