Optimal Lehmer Mean Bounds for the Toader Mean

We find the greatest value p and least value q such that the double inequality L _p (a, b)?<?T(a, b)?<?L _q (a, b) holds for all a, b?>?0 with a?≠ b, and give a new upper bound for the complete elliptic integral of the second kind. Here ${T(a,b)=\frac{2}{\pi}\int\nolimits_{0}^{{\pi}/{2}}\sqrt{a^2{\cos^2{\theta}}+b^2{\sin^2{\theta}}}d\theta}$ and L _p (a, b)?=?(a ^p+1?+?b ^p+1)/(a ^p ?+?b ^p ) denote the Toader and p-th Lehmer means of two positive numbers a and b, respectively.
