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 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.

We can obtain the concise description of two dimensional Finsler space from the viewpoint of their geodesic curves. In this paper we obtain the geodesic equations in a two-dimensional Finsler space with some special (${\alpha},\;{\beta}$)-metrics by using the Weierstrass form. We shall be referred to an isothermal coodinate system and an orthonormal one with respect to an associated Riemannian space.

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.

For an isometric immersion $f:M{\rightarrow}{\bar{M}}$ of Finsler manifolds M into $\bar{M}$, we compare the intrinsic Chern connection on M and the induced connection on M: We find the conditions for them to coincide and generalize the equations of Gauss, Ricci and Codazzi to Finsler submanifolds. In case the ambient space is a locally Minkowskian Finsler manifold, we simplify the above equations.

A change of Finsler metric L(x,y)longrightarrowL(x,y) is called a Randers change of L, if L(x,y) = L(x,y) +$\rho$(x,y), where $\rho$(x,y) = $\rho$(sub)i(x)y(sup)i is a 1-form on a smooth manifold M(sup)n. Let us consider the special Randers change of Finsler metric LlongrightarrowL = L + $\beta$ by $\beta$. On the basis of this special Randers change, the purpose of the present paper is devoted to studying the conditions for Finsler space F(sup)n which are transformed by a special Randers change of Finsler spaces F(sup)n with ($\alpha$,$\beta$)-metrics of Douglas type to be also of Douglas type, and vice versa.

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.

We shall find the condition for a Finsler space with a special ($\alpha$.$\beta$)-metric L($\alpha$.$\beta$) satisfying L$^2$ =2$\alpha$$\beta$ to be a Douglas space. The special Randers change of the above Finsler metric by $\beta$ is also studied.

The Matsumoto metric is an ($\alpha,\;\bata$)-metric which is an exact formulation of the model of Finsler space. Lately, this metric was expressed as an infinite series form for $$\mid$\beat$\mid$\;<\;$\mid$\alpha$\mid$$ by the first author. He introduced an approximate Matsumoto metric as the ($\alpha,\;\bata$)-metric of finite series form and investigated it in [11]. The purpose of the present paper is devoted to finding the condition for a Finsler space with an approximate Matsumoto metric to be projectively flat.
