Conjectures on convexity and absolute monotonicity of auxiliary elliptic-integral functions
Conjectures on convexity and absolute monotonicity of auxiliary elliptic-integral functions
Let , , and be the functions introduced in the source, let be the function from Lemma 1(7), and define
Auxiliary-function conjectures. (1) The function is convex on . (2) The functions and are both strictly increasing and convex on , with ranges and , respectively. (3) The coefficients of the Maclaurin series expansions of , , , , and are all positive; in particular, these functions are all absolutely monotone on .
These claims arise from computed series expansions and are intended to provide stronger regularity and positivity properties for the functions used in the elliptic-integral inequalities. The supplied text gives no proof or resolution.
