Abstract: Let ${P_n}_{ngeq0}$ denote the Catalan-Larcombe-French sequence, which naturally came up from the series expansion of the complete elliptic integral of the first kind. In this paper, we prove the strict log-concavity of the sequence ${sqrt[n]P_n}_{ngeq1}$, which was originally conjectured by Sun. We also obtain the strict log-concavity of the sequence ${sqrt[n]V_n}_{ngeq1}$, where ${V_n}_{ngeq0}$ is the Fennessey-Larcombe-French sequence arising in the series expansion of the complete elliptic integral of the second kind.
