In this paper, we prove the strict log-concavity of the sequence { n√Pn}n≥1, which was originally conjectured by Z. W. Sun. We also obtain the strict log-concavity of the sequence {n√Vn}n≥1, where {Vn}n≥0 is the Fennessey-Larcombe- French sequence arising from the series expansion of the complete elliptic integral of the second kind.展开更多
