Abstract

In this paper, we {\it find} the Finsler structure of the Apollonian weak metric on the open unit disc in R2\mathbb{R}^2, which turns out to be a Randers type Finsler structure and we call it as Apollonian weak-Finsler structure. In fact the Apollonian weak-Finsler structure is the deformation of the hyperbolic Poincar\'e metric in the unit disc by a closed 11-form. As a cosequence, the trajectories of the geodesic of this Apollonian weak-Finsler structure pointwise agrees with the geodesic of hyperbolic Poincar\'e metric in the open unit disc. Further, we explicitly calculate its SS-curvature, Riemann curvature, Ricci curvature and flag curvature. It turns out that the SS-curvature of the Apollonian weak-Finsler structure in the unit disc is bounded below by 32\frac{3}{2}, while its flag curvature KK satisfies 14K<2\frac{-1}{4}\leq K<2.
