In the present paper we have considered h-Randers conformal change of a Finsler metric $ L $, which is defined as \begin{center}$ L(x,y)\rightarrow \bar{L}(x, y)=e^{\sigma(x)}L(x, y)+\beta (x, y), \end{center} where $ \sigma(x) $ is a…

In this paper, the Cartan tensors of the $(\alpha,\beta)$-norms are investigated in details. Then an equivalence theorem of $(\alpha,\beta)$-norms is proved. As a consequence in Finsler geometry, general $(\alpha,\beta)$-metrics on smooth…
We proof that in dimension two, a Finsler metric is Douglas and generalized Berwald, if and only if it is Berwald or a Randers metric $\alpha + \beta$, where $\beta$ is closed and is of constant length with respect to $\alpha$.
We investigate what we call a conformal $\beta $ - change in Finsler spaces, namely $$ L(x,y)\to ~^{\ast}L(x,y)=e^{\sigma(x)}L(x,y)+\beta(x,y)$$ where~$\sigma ~$ is a function of $x~ only ~and ~ \beta (x, y)$ is a given 1- form. This change…
In Finsler geometry, there are infinitely many models of constant curvature. The Funk metrics, the Hilbert-Klein metrics and the Bryant metrics are projectively flat with non-zero constant curvature. A recent example constructed by the…

In this paper we construct a new class of harmonic and asymptotically harmonic Finsler manifolds of $({\alpha},\beta)$-type. This class is defined by a Riemannian metric ${\alpha}$ and a special 1-form $\beta$.
For every Finsler metric $F$ we associate a Riemannian metric $g_F$ (called the Binet-Legendre metric). The transformation $F \mapsto g_F$ is $C^0$-stable and has good smoothness properties, in contrast to previous constructions. The…
