  • We deal with two metrics of Randers type, which are characterized by the solution of certain differential equations respectively. Furthermore, we will give the condition for a Finsler space with such a metric to be a locally Minkowski space or a conformally flat space, respectively.

  • We deal with a differential equation which is constructed from homogeneous function, and its geometrical meaning in a Finsler space. Moreover, were prove that a locally Minkowski space satisfying a differential equation F\ulcorner=0 is flat-parallel.

  • The theory of m-th root metric has been developed by H. Shimada [8], and applied to the biology [1] as an ecological metric. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the m-th root Finsler metrics which admit ($\alpha,\;\beta$)-types. Especially in cases of m = 3, 4, we give the condition for Finsler spaces with such metrics to be locally Minkowski spaces.

  • 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.

  • A.H.Hamel proved the Ekeland's principle in a locally convex Hausdorff topological vector spaces by constructing the norm and applying the Ekeland's principle in Banach spaces. In this paper we show that the Ekeland's principle in a locally convex Hausdorff topological vector spaces can be proved directly by applying the famous general principle of H.Br$\acute{e}$zis and F.E.Browder.

  • We prove that the Ricci operator S of an almost cosymplectic three-manifold M is invariant along the Reeb flow, that is, M satisfies ${\pounds}_{\xi}S=0$ if and only if M is either cosymplectic or locally isometric to the group E(1, 1) of rigid motions of Minkowski 2-space with a left invariant almost cosymplectic structure.

  • In the present paper, we nd the conditions to characterize projective change between two (${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$)-metrics, such as Matsumoto metric $L=\frac{{\alpha}^2}{{\alpha}-{\beta}}$ and Randers metric $\bar{L}=\bar{\alpha}+\bar{\beta}$ on a manifold with dim $n$ > 2, where ${\alpha}$ and $\bar{\alpha}$ are two Riemannian metrics, ${\beta}$ and $\bar{\beta}$ are two non-zero 1-formas.
