In the present paper, first we define a Douglas space of the second kind of a Finsler space with an (${\alpha},{\beta}$)-metric. Next we find the conditions that the Finsler space with an (${\alpha},{\beta}$)-metric be a Douglas space of the second kind and the Finsler space with a Matsumoto metric be a Douglas space of the second kind.

It is our goal in this study to present the structure of isotropic mean Berwald Finsler warped product metrics. We bring out the rich class of warped product Finsler metrics behaviour under this condition. We show that every Finsler warped product metric of dimension n ≥ 2 is of isotropic mean Berwald curvature if and only if it is a weakly Berwald metric. Also, we prove that every locally dually flat Finsler warped product metric is weakly Berwaldian. Finally, we prove that every Finsler warped product metric is of isotropic Berwald curvature if and only if it is a Berwald metric.

Arrivals of Hilbert and Minkowski at $G\ddot{o}ttingen$ put mathematical science there in full flourish. They further extended its strong mathematical tradition of Gauss and Riemann. Though Riemann envisioned Finsler metric and gave an example of it in his inaugural lecture of 1854, Finsler geometry was officially named after Minkowski's academic grandson Finsler. His tool to generalize Riemannian geometry was the calculus of variations of which his advisor $Carath\acute{e}odory$ was a master. Another $G\ddot{o}ttingen$ graduate Busemann regraded Finsler geometry as a special case of geometry of metric spaces. He was a student of Courant who was a student of Hilbert. These figures all at $G\ddot{o}ttingen$ created and developed Finsler geometry in its early stages. In this paper, we investigate history of works on Finsler geometry contributed by these frontiers.

The $(\alpha, \beta)$-metric is a Finsler metric which is constructed from a Riemannian metric $\alpha$ and a differential 1-form $\Beta$; it has been sometimes treat in theoretical physics. In particular, the projective flatness of Finsler space with a metric $L^2 = 2\alpha\beta$ is considered in detail.

The almost Hermitian Finsler structure of a Rizza manifold is an almost Hermitian structure if a special condition satisfies. In this paper, the induced Finsler connection from Moor metric is define and the some properties of a Kaehlerian Finsler manifold with respect to the induced Finsler connection from Moor metric are investigated.

The geodesic equation in a two-dimensional Finsler space is given by the differential equation of the Weierstrass form. In the present paper, we express the differential equations of geodesics in a two-dimensional Finsler space with a generalized Kropina metric.

In the present paper, we treat a Finsler space with a special (${\alpha},\;{\beta}$)-metric $L({\alpha},\;{\beta})\;\;C_1{\alpha}＋C_2{\beta}+{\alpha}^2/{\beta}$ satisfying some conditions. We find a condition that a Finsler space with a special (${\alpha},\;{\beta}$)-metric be a Berwald space. Then it is shown that if a two-dimensional Finsler space with a special (${\alpha},\;{\beta}$)-metric is a Landsberg space, then it is a Berwald space.

The ($\alpha,\;\beta$)-metric is a Finsler metric which is constructed from a Riemannian metric $\alpha$ and a differential 1-form $\beta$. In this paper, we discuss the projective flatness of Finsler spaces with certain ($\alpha,\;\beta$)-metrics ([5]) in a locally Minkowski space.

In the present paper, we treat an infinite series ($\alpha$, $\beta$)-metric L =$\beta$$^2$/($\beta$-$\alpha$). First, we find the conditions that a Finsler metric F$^{n}$ with the metric above be a Berwald space, a Douglas space, and a projectively flat Finsler space, respectively. Next, we investigate the condition that a two-dimensional Finsler space with the metric above be a Landsbeg space. Then the differential equations of the geodesics are also discussed.
