Abstract

In this paper, we discuss the Finsler spaces (Mn,L)(M^n,L) and (Mn,L)(M^n,\,^{*}L), where L(x,y)^{*}L(x,y) is obtained from L(x,y)L(x,y) by Kropina change L(x,y)=L2(x,y)bi(x,y)yi^{*}L(x,y)=\frac{L^2(x,y)}{b_i(x,y)\,y^i} and bi(x,y)b^{}_{i}(x,y) is an hh-vector in (Mn,L)(M^n,L). We find the necessary and sufficient condition when the Cartan connection coefficients for both spaces (Mn,L)(M^n,L) and (Mn,L)(M^n,\,^{*}L) are the same. We also find the necessary and sufficient condition for Kropina change with an hh-vector to be projective.
