Abstract

We consider the special hypersurface of the first approximate Matsumoto metric with $b_i(x)={\partial}_ib$ being the gradient of a scalar function b(x). In this paper, we consider the hypersurface of the first approximate Matsumoto space with the same equation b(x)=constant. We are devoted to finding the condition for this hypersurface to be a hyperplane of the first or second kind. We show that this hypersurface is not a hyper-plane of third kind.
