Abstract: The authors establish the relationship between Hersch-pfluger distortion function ψK(r) and the second kind complete elliptic integral ε(r). By studying the monotonicity and convexity of complete elliptic integrals, the authors obtain inequalities for the complete elliptic integrals and sharp bounds for the Hersch-Pfluger distortion function.

Key words: Complete elliptic integral, Distortion function, Modular equation, Hǔbner’s inequality
