This paper is concerned with a symbolic-based synthesis of feedback control policies for hybrid and continuous dynamic systems. A key step in our synthesis procedure is a new method to solve the following dynamic programming problem: ∂V ∂t (z, t) = min v ∂V ∂z (z, t)ρv(z, v)v ż = ρ(z, v), t ∈ [0, T ] (1) V (z, T ) = Ψ(z, T ) (2) Here V (z, t) is the cost-to-go function associated with a certain...

It is proved that all invariant functions of a complex Finsler manifold can be totally recovered from the torsion and curvature of the connection introduced by Kobayashi for holomorphic vector bundles with complex Finsler structures. Equations of the geodesics and Jacobi fields of a generic complex Finsler manifold, expressed by means Kobayashi’s connection, are also derived.

We begin the study of billiard dynamics in Finsler geometry. We deduce the Finsler billiard reflection law from the “least action principle”, and extend the basic properties of Riemannian and Euclidean billiards to the Finsler and Minkowski settings, respectively. We prove that the Finsler billiard map is a symplectomorphism, and compute the mean free path of the Finsler billiard ball. For the ...

The curvature characteristics of particular classes Finsler spaces, such as homogeneous are one the major issues in geometry. In this paper, we have obtained expression for S-curvature space with a generalized Matsumoto metric and demonstrated that isotropic has to vanish S-curvature. We also derived mean Berwald by using formula

Recently the present authors introduced a general class of Finsler connections which leads to a smart representation of connection theory in Finsler geometry and yields to a classification of Finsler connections into the three classes. Here the properties of one of these classes namely the Berwald-type connections which contains Berwald and Chern(Rund) connections as a special case is studied. ...

We show that the index of a lightlike geodesic in a conformally standard stationary spacetime (M0 × R, g) is equal to the index of its spatial projection as a geodesic of a Finsler metric F on M0 associated to (M0×R, g). Moreover we obtain the Morse relations of lightlike geodesics connecting a point p to a curve γ(s) = (q0, s) by using Morse theory on the Finsler manifold (M0, F ). To this end...

Some problems concerning to Liouville distribution and framed f -structures are studied on the normal bundle of the lifted Finsler foliation to its normal bundle. It is shown that the Liouville distribution of transversally Finsler foliations is an integrable one and some natural framed f(3, ε)structures of corank 2 exist on the normal bundle of the lifted Finsler foliation.

‎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.
