‘Finsler Geometry: An Approach via Randers Spaces’ exclusively deals with a special class of Finsler metrics — Randers metrics, which are defined as the sum of a Riemannian metric and a 1-form. Rand …

This comprehensive book is an introduction to the basics of Finsler geometry with recent developments in its area. It includes local geometry as well as global geometry of Finsler manifolds.In Part I …

In this book we study sprays and Finsler metrics. Roughly speaking, a spray on a manifold consists of compatible systems of second-order ordinary differential equations. A Finsler metric on a manifol …

In 1854, B Riemann introduced the notion of curvature for spaces with a family of inner products. There was no significant progress in the general case until 1918, when P Finsler studied the variatio …
