Abstract
In the article, we prove that the function x ? (1-x)pK(?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 ? d2/dx2 [K(?x)- log (1+4/?1-x) is absolutely monotonic on (0,1), where K(x) = ??/20 (1-x2 sin2t)-1/2 dt (0 < x < 1) is the complete elliptic integral of the first kind.
