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.

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 introduced a Finsler space $F^n$ with an approximate infinite series (${\alpha},{\beta}$-metric $L({\alpha},{\beta})={\beta}\sum\limits_{k=0}^r\(\frac{\alpha}{\beta}\)^k$, where ${\alpha}<{\beta}$ and investigated it with respect to Berwald space ([12]) and Douglas space ([13]). The present paper is devoted to finding the condition that is projectively at on a Finsler space $F^n$ with an approximate infinite series (${\alpha},{\beta}$)-metric above.

In the present paper, we investigate a problem in a sym-metric Finsler space, which is a special space. First we prove that if a symmetric space remains to be a symmetric one under the Z-projective change, then the space is of zero curvature. Further we will study W-recurrent space and D-recurrent space under the pro-jective change.
