We study the variational problem of finding the fastest path between two points that belong to different anisotropic media, each with a prescribed speed profile and a common interface. The optimal curves are Finsler geodesics that are…

We determine all Finsler metrics of Randers type for which the Riemannian part is a scalar multiple of the Euclidean metric, on an open subset of the Euclidean plane, whose geodesics are circles. We show that the Riemannian part must be of…

Finsler geometry is a natural arena to investigate the physics of spacetimes with local Lorentz violating. The directional dependence of the Finsler metric provides a way to encode the Lorentz violating effects into the geometric structure…

The transportation problem in the plane - how to move a set of objects from one set of points to another set of points in the cheapest way - is a very old problem going back several hundreds of years. In recent years the solution of the…

In this paper, the isoperimetric problem in Randers planes, $(\mathbb{R}^2,F=\alpha +\beta)$, which are slight deformation of the Euclidean plane $(\mathbb{R}^2,\alpha)$ by suitable one forms $\beta$, have been studied. We prove that the…

Finsler geometry is a natural and fundamental generalization of Riemann geometry, and is a tool to research Lorentz invariance violation. We find the connection between the most general modified dispersion relation and a pseudo-Finsler…

A quantum clock cannot be modeled as a point mass moving along a single geodesic if it is in a state with nonzero position fluctuations. Instead, it is an extended object subject to tidal forces and a superposition of time dilations at…

We consider a region $M$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with boundary $\partial M$ and a metric $g$ on $M$ conformal to the Euclidean metric. We analyze the inverse problem, originally formulated by Dix, of reconstructing $g$ from boundary measurements…

In this paper, we construct the Funk-Finsler structure in various models of the hyperbolic plane. In particular, in the unit disc of the Klein model, it turns out to be a Randers metric, which is a non-Berwald Douglas metric. Further, using…

A systematic study of (smooth, strong) cone structures $\C$ and Lorentz-Finsler metrics $L$ is carried out. As a link between both notions, cone triples $(\Omega,T, F)$, where $\Omega$ (resp. $T$) is a 1-form (resp. vector field) with…
