The inverse hyperbolic tangent function and Jacobian sine function

Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, 2017
A function \(f: I\to J\) is called \(H_{p,q}\)-convex, if \(f(H_p(x,y))\leq H_q(f(x),f(y))\) for any \(x\), \(y\) in \(I\), where \(H_k\) denotes the Hölder mean of order \(k\). Let \({\mathcal K}={\mathcal K}(r)\) be the complete elliptic integral of the first kind. By using the monotone form of l'Hôpital's rule, the author proves that the composition
