This paper is devoted to a study of geodesics of Finsler metrics via Zermelo navigation. We give a geometric description of the geodesics of the Finsler metric produced from any Finsler metric and any homothetic field in terms of navigation representation, generalizing a result previously only known in the case of Randers metrics with constant S-curvature. As its application, we present explici...

Our main observation concerns closed geodesics on surfaces M with a smooth Finsler metric, i.e. a function F : TM → [0,∞) which is a norm on each tangent space TpM , p ∈ M , which is smooth outside of the zero section in TM , and which is strictly convex in the sense that Hess(F ) is positive definite on TpM \ {0}. One calls a Finsler metric F symmetric if F (p,−v) = F (p, v) for all v ∈ TpM . ...

in this paper, we are going to study the g-natural metrics on the tangent bundle of finslermanifolds. we concentrate on the complex and kählerian and hermitian structures associated with finslermanifolds via g-natural metrics. we prove that the almost complex structure induced by this metric is acomplex structure on tangent bundle if and only if the finsler metric is of scalar flag curvature. t...

In this paper we first study some global properties of the energy functional on a nonreversible Finsler manifold. In particular we present a fully detailed proof of the Palais–Smale condition under the completeness of the Finsler metric. Moreover we define a Finsler metric of Randers type, which we call Fermat metric, associated to a conformally standard stationary spacetime. We shall study the...

in this paper, we study a special class of generalized douglas-weyl metrics whose douglas curvature is constant along any finslerian geodesic. we prove that for every landsberg metric in this class of finsler metrics, ? = 0 if and only if h = 0. then we show that every finsler metric of non-zero isotropic flag curvature in this class of metrics is a riemannian if and only if ? = 0.

Abstract We study an action integral for Finsler gravity obtained by pulling back Einstein-Cartan-like Lagrangian from the tangent bundle to base manifold. The vacuum equations are imposing stationarity with respect any section (observer) and well posed as they independent of section. They imply that in metric is actually velocity variable so dynamics becomes coincident general relativity.

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...

A Finsler space (M,Σ) is said to be geodesically reversible if each oriented geodesic can be reparametrized as a geodesic with the reverse orientation. A reversible Finsler space is geodesically reversible, but the converse need not be true. In this note, building on recent work of LeBrun and Mason [13], it is shown that a geodesically reversible Finsler metric of constant flag curvature on the...
