Abstract

Let Fn =(M, L) be an n-dimensional Finsler manifold, and Let L and L be the two Finsler metrics. For a differential one form β(x,dx)=bi(x)dxi on M, G. Randers, in 1941, introduced a special Finsler space defined by the change L =L+β, where L is i Riemannian, to consider a unified field theory. For a β-change of Finsler metric, the differential one-form β plays a very important role. With the above observations, in this article, the authors have tried to study the necessary and sufficient n condition for Finsler space Fn which is transformed by a b-change of Finsler space Fn with (α, β)-metric to be of Douglas type. And also we are discussing the different classes of (α, β)-metrics of Finsler spaces Fn are discussed, which is obtained by a β-change of a Finsler space Fn is of Douglas type. The terminology and notations are referred to the Matsumoto's monograph (Matsumoto, 1992).
