Strict complete monotonicity conjecture for F3F_3

Let F3F_3 be the function defined in Theorem 3 of the source paper. A function is strictly completely monotonic on an interval if all of its derivatives have alternating signs there, namely (1)kF3(k)(x)>0(-1)^kF_3^{(k)}(x)>0 for every integer k0k\geq 0 and every xx in the interval. Strict complete monotonicity conjecture. The function F3F_3 is strictly completely monotonic on (0,1/2](0,1/2]. If true, this would yield sharp lower and upper bounds for R(x)R(x) expressed in terms of B(x)/[1+x(1x)]B(x)/[1+x(1-x)] and polynomials.
