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.

We deal with a Finsler space $F^n$ with an approximate infinite series $({\alpha},\;{\beta})$-metric $L({\alpha},\;{\beta})$ = ${\beta}{\sum}_{k=0}^{r}(\frac{\alpha}{\beta})^k$ where ${\alpha}<{\beta}$. We introduced a Finsler space $F^n$ with an infinite series $({\alpha},{\beta})$-metric $L({\alpha},\;{\beta})=\frac{\beta^2}{\beta-\alpha}$ and investigated various geometrical properties at [6]. The purpose of the present paper is devoted to finding the condition for a Finsler space $F^n$ with an approximate infinite series $({\alpha},\;{\beta})$-metric above to be a Douglas space.

The $(\alpha, \beta)$-metric is a Finsler metric which is constructed from a Riemannian metric $\alpha$ and a differential 1-form $\Beta$; it has been sometimes treat in theoretical physics. In particular, the projective flatness of Finsler space with a metric $L^2 = 2\alpha\beta$ is considered in detail.

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.

The ($\alpha$,$\beta$)-metric is a Finsler metric which is constructed from a Riemannian metric $\alpha$ and a differential 1-from $\beta$;it has been sometimes treated in theoretical physics. The condition for a Finsler space with an ($\alpha$,$\beta$)-metric L($\alpha$,$\beta$) to be projectively flat was given by Matsumoto [11]. The present paper is devoted to studying the condition for a Finsler space with L=$\alpha$\ulcorner$\beta$\ulcorner or L=$\alpha$+$\beta$\ulcorner/$\alpha$ to be projectively flat on the basis of Matsumoto`s results.

The ($\alpha,\;\beta$)-metric is a Finsler metric which is constructed from a Riemannian metric $\alpha$ and a differential 1-form $\beta$. In this paper, we discuss the projective flatness of Finsler spaces with certain ($\alpha,\;\beta$)-metrics ([5]) in a locally Minkowski 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 consider the condition that is a geodesic equation on a Finsler space with an (${\alpha},\;{\beta}$)-metric. Next we find the conditions that are equations of geodesic on the Finsler space with an approximate infinite series (${\alpha},\;{\beta}$)-metric.

In the present paper, first we define a Douglas space of the second kind of a Finsler space with an (${\alpha},{\beta}$)-metric. Next we find the conditions that the Finsler space with an (${\alpha},{\beta}$)-metric be a Douglas space of the second kind and the Finsler space with a Matsumoto metric be a Douglas space of the second kind.
