Abstract

We refine the symmetric mean integral method for estimating the perimeter of an ellipse by restricting the integration limits to [0, π/4]. This approach allows the application of the squeeze theorem by leveraging the extremal behavior of the integrand, yielding explicit upper and lower bounds. The results provide a foundation for further research to derive improved perimeter estimates for ellipses.

Version Notes

I have changed Theorem 2.1 to Lemma 2.1. This naming is more appropriate because it is useful for the main proof, namely Theorem 2.2. The wording of Lemma 2.1 and Theorem 2.2 has been corrected to make it more concise and easy to understand. In addition, I value the order of t that satisfies the maximum value for the function f(t).
