We proof that in dimension two, a Finsler metric is Douglas and generalized Berwald, if and only if it is Berwald or a Randers metric $\alpha + \beta$, where $\beta$ is closed and is of constant length with respect to $\alpha$.

• Mathematics
Riemannian metrics are special Berwald metrics. In fact, Berwald metrics are “almost Riemannian” in the sense that every Berwald metric is affinely equivalent to a Riemannian metric, i.e., the

In this paper, we study a class of Finsler metrics defined by a Riemannian metric and a 1-form on a manifold. We find an equation that characterizes Douglas metrics on a manifold of dimension n ≧ 3.

Abstract In the paper we characterize the two-dimensional generalized Berwald manifolds in terms of the classical setting of Finsler surfaces (Berwald frame, main scalar etc.). As an application we
