ON THE BERWALD CONNECTION OF A FINSLER SPACE WITH A SPECIAL $({\alpha},{\beta})$-METRIC

  • Published : 1997.04.01

Abstract

In a Finsler space, we introduce a special $(\alpha,\beta)$-metric L satisfying $L^2(\alpha,\beta) = c_1\alpha^2 + 2c_2\alpha\beta + c_3\beta^2$, which $c_i$ are constants. We investigate the Berwald connection in a Finsler space with this special $\alpha,\beta)$-metric.
