AbstractIn the paper, the authors find two sharp and double inequalities for bounding the second Seiffert mean either by a one-parameter family of means derived from the centroidal mean or by a convex combination of the arithmetic and contra-harmonic means.
We present the necessary and sufficient condition for the monotonicity of the ratio of the power and second Seiffert means. As applications, we get the sharp upper and lower bounds for the second Seiffert mean in terms of the power mean.
