Abstract

In this paper, we {\it find} the infinitesimal structure of Funk-Finsler metric in spaces of constant curvature. We investigate the geometry of this Funk-Finsler metric by explicitly computing its SS-curvature, Riemann curvature, Ricci curvature, and flag curvature. Moreover, we show that the SS-curvature of the Funk-Finsler metric in hyperbolic space is bounded above by 32\frac{3}{2}, in spherical space bounded below by 32\frac{3}{2}, and in Euclidean case it is identically equal to 32\frac{3}{2}. Further, we show that the flag curvature of the Funk-Finsler metric in hyperbolic space is bounded above by 14-\frac{1}{4}, in spherical space bounded below by 14-\frac{1}{4}, and in Euclidean case it is identically equal to 14-\frac{1}{4}.
