As a generalization of Berwald spaces, we have the ideas of Douglas spaces and Landsberg spaces. S. Bacso defined a weakly-Berwald space as another generalization of Berwald spaces. In 1972, Matsumoto proposed the (α, β) metric, which is a Finsler metric derived from a Riemannian metric α and a differential 1-form β. In this paper, we investigated an important class of (α, β)-metrics of the form $F={\mu}_1\alpha+{\mu}_2\beta+{\mu}_3\frac{\beta^2}{\alpha}$, which is recognized as a special form of the first approximate Matsumoto metric on an n-dimensional manifold, and we obtain the criteria for such metrics to be weakly-Berwald metrics. A Finsler space with a special (α, β)-metric is a weakly Berwald space if and only if B^m_m is a 1-form. We have shown that under certain geometric and algebraic circumstances, it transforms into a weakly Berwald space.

We have two concepts of Douglas spaces and Lands-berg spaces as generalizations of Berwald spaces. S. Bacso gave the definition of a weakly-Berwald space [2] as another generalization of Berwald spaces. In the present paper, we find the conditions that the Finsler space with an (${\alpha},{\beta}$)-metric be a weakly-Berwald space and the Finsler spaces with some special (${\alpha},{\beta}$)-metrics be weakly-Berwald spaces, respectively.

In this paper, we investigate the $\mathbb{R}$-complex Hermitian Finsler spaces, emphasizing the differences that separate them from the complex Finsler spaces. The tools used in this study are the Chern-Finsler and Berwald connections. By means of these connections, some classes of the $\mathbb{R}$-complex Hermitian Finsler spaces are defined, (e.g. weakly K$\ddot{a}$hler, K$\ddot{a}$hler, strongly K$\ddot{a}$hler). Here the notions of K$\ddot{a}$hler and strongly K$\ddot{a}$hler do not coincide, unlike the complex Finsler case. Also, some kinds of Berwald notions for such spaces are introduced. A special approach is devoted to obtain the equivalence conditions for an $\mathbb{R}$-complex Hermitian Finsler space to become a weakly Berwald or Berwald. Finally, we obtain the conditions under which an $\mathbb{R}$-complex Hermitian Finsler space with Randers metric is Berwald. We get some clear examples which illustrate the interest for this work.

In a Finsler space, we introduce a special $(\alpha,\beta)$-metric L satisfying $L^2(\alpha,\beta) = c_1\alpha^2 + 2c_2\alpha\beta + c_3\beta^2$, which $c_i$ are constants. We investigate the Berwald connection in a Finsler space with this special $\alpha,\beta)$-metric.

In the present paper, we are to find the conditions that a cubic Finsler space is a Berwald space and a two-dimensional cubic Finsler space is a Landsberg space. It is shown that if a two-dimensional cubic Finsler space is a Landsberg space, then it is a Berwald space.

In the present paper, we treat a Finsler space with a special (${\alpha},\;{\beta}$)-metric $L({\alpha},\;{\beta})\;\;C_1{\alpha}＋C_2{\beta}+{\alpha}^2/{\beta}$ satisfying some conditions. We find a condition that a Finsler space with a special (${\alpha},\;{\beta}$)-metric be a Berwald space. Then it is shown that if a two-dimensional Finsler space with a special (${\alpha},\;{\beta}$)-metric is a Landsberg space, then it is a Berwald space.

In this paper, we find the conditions for a homogeneous Finsler space with an invariant infinite series (α, β)-metric to be of Berwald type. Also, we derive the necessary and sufficient condition for such a metric to be a Douglas metric.

In this paper, we prove that a complex Finsler manifold is a complex locally Minkowski space if and only if it is a strictly K$\ddot{a}$hler-Berwald manifold with zero holomorphic sectional curvature.
