The concept of locally dually flat Finsler metrics originate from information geometry. As we know, (α, β)-metrics defined by a Riemannian metric α and an 1-form β, represent an important class of Finsler metrics, which contains the Matsumoto metric. In this paper, we study and characterize locally dually flat first approximation of the Matsumoto metric with isotropic S-curvature, which is not ...

Given the Finsler structure (M, F) on a manifold M, a Riemannian structure (M, h) and a linear connection on M are defined. They are obtained as the " average " of the Finsler structure and the Chern connection. This linear connection is the Levi-Civita connection of the Riemannian metric h. The relation between parallel transport of the Chern connection and the Levi-Civita connection of h are ...

The notion of dually flat Finsler metrics arise from information geometry. In this paper, we will study a special class of Finsler metrics called Randers metrics to be dually flat. A simple characterization is provided and some non-trivial explicit examples are constructed. In particular, We will show that the dual flatness of a Randers metric always arises from that of some Riemannian metric b...

Several refinements of the Finsler-Hadwiger inequality and its reverse in the triangle are discussed. A new one parameter family of Finsler-Hadwiger inequalities and their reverses are proved. This allows us to obtain new bounds for the sum of the squares of the side lengths of a triangle in terms of other elements in the triangle. Finally, these new bounds are compared to known ones.

At the moment autonomous industrial mobile manipulation (AIMM) is a subject of major focus in development and research environments, as it is a technology with significant potential. However, we are experiencing a lack in calibration techniques, in order to obtain industrially acceptable localization and manipulation tolerances. In this paper two calibration methods (high-precision and high-spe...

This is a survey article on global rigidity theorems for complete Finsler manifolds without boundary.

We obtain some results in both, Lorentz and Finsler geometries, by using a correspondence between the conformal structure of standard stationary spacetimes on M = R × S and Randers metrics on S. In particular: (1) For stationary spacetimes: we give a simple characterization on when R×S is causally continuous or globally hyperbolic (including in the latter case, when S is a Cauchy hypersurface),...

In this essentially selfcontained paper first we establish an intrinsic version and present a coordinate-free deduction of the so-called Rapcsák equations, which provide, in the form of 2nd order PDE-s, necessary and sufficient conditions for a Finsler structure to be projectively related to a spray. From another viewpoint, the Rapcsák equations are the conditions for the Finsler-metrizability ...

A geometric procedure is elaborated for transforming (pseudo) Riemanian metrics and connections into canonical geometric objects (metric and nonlinear and linear connections) for effective Lagrange, or Finsler, geometries which, in their turn, can be equivalently represented as almost Kähler spaces. This allows us to formulate an approach to quantum gravity following standard methods of deforma...
