We obtain a result about the existence of only a finite number of geodesics between two fixed non-conjugate points in a Finsler manifold endowed with a convex function. We apply it to Randers and Zermelo metrics. As a by-product, we also…

In this paper, we introduce and investigate a general transformation or change of Finsler metrics, which is referred to as a generalized $\beta$-conformal change: $$L(x,y) \longrightarrow\overline{L}(x,y) =…

The distance function $\varrho(p,q)$ (or $d(p,q)$) of a distance space (general metric space) is not differentiable in general. We investigate such distance spaces over $\mathbb R^n$, whose distance functions are differentiable like in case…

This paper presents a new type of surface models constructed on the basis of Finsler geometry. A Finsler metric is defined on the surface by using an underlying vector field, which is an in-plane tilt order. According to the orientation of…

We explore the relationship between contact forms on $\mathbb S^3$ defined by Finsler metrics on $\mathbb S^2$ and the theory developed by H. Hofer, K. Wysocki and E. Zehnder in \cite{HWZ,HWZ1}. We show that a Finsler metric on $\mathbb…

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…
