Riguardo questo articolo

Paperback. Finsler geometry generalizes Riemannian geometry in the same sense that Banach spaces generalize Hilbert spaces. This book presents an expository account of seven important topics in Riemann-Finsler geometry, ones which have recently undergone significant development but have not had a detailed pedagogical treatment elsewhere. Each article will open the door to an active area of research, and is suitable for a special topics course in graduate-level differential geometry. The contributors consider issues related to volume, geodesics, curvature, complex differential geometry, and parametrized jet bundles, and include a variety of instructive examples. These expository accounts treat issues related to volume, geodesics, curvature and mathematical biology, with instructive examples. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
