Abstract

In this paper, we prove that for every Finsler nn-dimensional sphere (Sn,F),n3(S^n,F), n\ge 3 with reversibility λ\lambda and flag curvature KK satisfying (λ1+λ)2<K1\left(\frac{\lambda}{1+\lambda}\right)^2<K\le 1, there exist at least three distinct closed geodesics and at least two of them are elliptic if the number of prime closed geodesics is finite. When n6n\ge 6, these three distinct closed geodesics are non-hyperbolic.
