Bounds for symmetric elliptic integrals Original Research Article

Lower and upper bounds for the four standard incomplete symmetric elliptic integrals are obtained. The bounding functions are expressed in terms of the elementary transcendental functions. Sharp bounds for the ratio of the complete elliptic integrals of the second kind and the first kind are also derived. These results can be used to obtain bounds for the product of these integrals. It is shown that an iterative numerical algorithm for computing the ratios and products of complete integrals has the second order of convergence.
