Abstract
In this paper, the well-known double inequality for the complete elliptic integral E(r) of the second kind, which gives sharp approximations of E(r) by power means (or Hölder means), is extended to the complete p-elliptic integral \(E_p(r)\) of the second kind, and thus sharp approximations of \(E_p(r)\) by weighted power means are obtained. This result confirmed the truth of Conjecture I by Barnard, Ricards and Tiedeman in the case when \(a=b=1/p\in (0,1/2)\) and \(c=1\) and also provides a new method to prove the above double inequality of E(r).
