چکیده
In this paper, we study the Cartan space with some (α, β) metrics, in particular Randers metric admitting h-metrical d-connection. Further, we show that the condition for Cartan space with Randers metric to be locally Minkowski and Conformally flat. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 53B40, 53C60

Geometric Modeling of Dubins Airplane Movement and its Metric
The time-optimal trajectory for an airplane from some starting point to some final point is studied by many authors. Here, we consider the extension of robot planer motion of Dubins model in three dimensional spaces. In this model, the system has independent bounded control over both the altitude velocity and the turning rate of airplane movement in a non-obstacle space. Here, in this paper a g...
متن کاملOn the geometry of Randers manifolds
Randers manifolds are studied in the framework of the pullback bundle formalism, with the aid of intrinsic methods only. After checking a sufficient condition for a Randers manifold to be a Finsler manifold, we provide a systematic description of the Riemann-Finsler metric, the canonical spray, the Barthel endomorphism, the Berwald connection, the Cartan tensors and the Cartan vector field in t...
متن کاملThe Index of a Geodesic in a Randers Space and Some Remarks about the Lack of Regularity of the Energy Functional of a Finsler Metric
In a series of papers ([2, 3, 4]) the relations existing between the metric properties of Randers spaces and the conformal geometry of stationary Lorentzian manifolds were discovered and investigated. These relations were called in [4] Stationary-to-Randers Correspondence (SRC). In this paper we focus on one aspect of SRC, the equality between the index of a geodesic in a Randers space and that...
متن کاملR-complex Finsler Spaces with (α, Β)-metric
In this paper we introduce the class of R-complex Finsler spaces with (α, β)-metrics and study some important exemples: R-complex Randers spaces, R-complex Kropina spaces. The metric tensor field of a R-complex Finsler space with (α, β)-metric is determined (§2). A special approach is dedicated to the R-complex Randers spaces (§3).

متن کاملRanders Manifolds of Positive Constant Curvature
We prove that any simply connected and complete Riemannian manifold, on which a Randers metric of positive constant flag curvature exists, must be diffeomorphic to an odd-dimensional sphere, provided a certain 1-form vanishes on it. 1. Introduction. The geometry of Finsler manifolds of constant flag curvature is one of the fundamental subjects in Finsler geometry. Akbar-Zadeh [1] proved that, u...
