abstract

we prove that every r-quadratic metric of scalar flag curvature with a dimension greater than twois of constant flag curvature. then we show that generalized douglas-weyl metrics contain r-quadraticmetrics as a special case, but the class of r-quadratic metric is not closed under projective transformations

On C3-Like Finsler Metrics

In this paper, we study the class of of C3-like Finsler metrics which contains the class of semi-C-reducible Finsler metric. We find a condition on C3-like metrics under which the notions of Landsberg curvature and mean Landsberg curvature are equivalent.

Generalized Douglas-Weyl Finsler Metrics

In this paper, we study generalized Douglas-Weyl Finsler metrics. We find some conditions under which the class of generalized Douglas-Weyl (&alpha, &beta)-metric with vanishing S-curvature reduce to the class of Berwald metrics.

On R−complex Finsler spaces

In the present paper we submit for study a new class of Finsler spaces. Through restricting the homogeneity condition from the definition of a complex Finsler metric to real scalars, λ ∈ R, is obtained a wider class of complex spaces, called by us the R−complex Finsler spaces. Two subclasses are taken in consideration: the Hermitian and the non-Hermitian R−complex Finsler spaces. In an R−comple...

Projective complex Finsler metrics

In this paper we obtain the conditions in which two complex Finsler metrics are projective, i.e. have the same geodesics as point sets. Two important classes of such metrics are submitted to our attention: conformal projective and weakly projective complex Finsler spaces. For each of them we study the transformations of the canonical connection. We pay attention for local projectivity with a pu...

On a class of locally projectively flat Finsler metrics

‎In this paper we study Finsler metrics with orthogonal invariance‎. ‎We‎ ‎find a partial differential equation equivalent to these metrics being locally projectively flat‎. ‎Some applications are given‎. ‎In particular‎, ‎we give an explicit construction of a new locally projectively flat Finsler metric of vanishing flag curvature which differs from the Finsler metric given by Berwald in 1929.

Control Contraction Metrics on Finsler Manifolds

Control Contraction Metrics (CCMs) provide a nonlinear controller design involving an offline search for a Riemannian metric and an online search for a shortest path between the current and desired trajectories. In this paper, we generalize CCMs to Finsler geometry, allowing the use of nonRiemannian metrics. We provide open loop and sampled data controllers. The sampled data control constructio...
