Absolute-monotonicity conjecture for the second derivative of an elliptic-integral difference

From papers

Let K(r)\mathcal{K}(r) denote the complete elliptic integral of the first kind and define

D(x)=K(x)ln(1+41x).D(x)=\mathcal{K}(\sqrt{x})-\ln\left(1+\frac{4}{\sqrt{1-x}}\right).

A function is absolutely monotonic on an interval if all of its derivatives are nonnegative there. Absolute-monotonicity conjecture for DD^{\prime\prime}. The second derivative DD^{\prime\prime} is absolutely monotonic on (0,1)(0,1). The paper presents this as a conjecture; the supplied text gives no resolution.
