Abstract

In this paper we consider the Matsumoto metric F=α2αβF=\frac{\alpha^2}{\alpha-\beta}, on the three dimensional real vector space and obtain the partial differential equations that characterize the minimal surfaces which are graphs of smooth functions and then we prove that plane is the only such surface. We also obtain the partial differential equation that characterizes the minimal translation surfaces and show that again plane is the only such surface.
