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.

In the present paper, first we define a Douglas space of the second kind of a Finsler space with an (${\alpha},{\beta}$)-metric. Next we find the conditions that the Finsler space with an (${\alpha},{\beta}$)-metric be a Douglas space of the second kind and the Finsler space with a Matsumoto metric be a Douglas space of the second kind.

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.

We consider the special hypersurface of the first approximate Matsumoto metric with $b_i(x)={\partial}_ib$ being the gradient of a scalar function b(x). In this paper, we consider the hypersurface of the first approximate Matsumoto space with the same equation b(x)=constant. We are devoted to finding the condition for this hypersurface to be a hyperplane of the first or second kind. We show that this hypersurface is not a hyper-plane of third kind.

In this paper, we study the second approximate Matsumoto metric F = ${\alpha}+{\beta}+{\beta}^2/{\alpha}+{\beta}^3/{\alpha}^2$ on a manifold M. We prove that F is of scalar flag curvature and isotropic S-curvature if and only if it is isotropic Berwald metric with almost isotropic flag curvature.

As a generalization of Berwald spaces, we have the ideas of Douglas spaces and Landsberg spaces. S. Bacso defined a weakly-Berwald space as another generalization of Berwald spaces. In 1972, Matsumoto proposed the (α, β) metric, which is a Finsler metric derived from a Riemannian metric α and a differential 1-form β. In this paper, we investigated an important class of (α, β)-metrics of the form $F={\mu}_1\alpha+{\mu}_2\beta+{\mu}_3\frac{\beta^2}{\alpha}$, which is recognized as a special form of the first approximate Matsumoto metric on an n-dimensional manifold, and we obtain the criteria for such metrics to be weakly-Berwald metrics. A Finsler space with a special (α, β)-metric is a weakly Berwald space if and only if B^m_m is a 1-form. We have shown that under certain geometric and algebraic circumstances, it transforms into a weakly Berwald 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.

In view of solution to the Hilbert fourth problem, the present study engages to investigate the projectively flat special (𝛼, 𝛽)-metric and the generalised first approximate Matsumoto (𝛼, 𝛽)-metric, where 𝛼 is a Riemannian metric and 𝛽 is a differential one-form. Further, we concluded that 𝛼 is locally Projectively flat and have 𝛽 is parallel with respect to 𝛼 for both the metrics. Also, we obtained necessary and sufficient conditions for the aforementioned metrics to be locally projectively flat.

In this paper, we are to find the condition that a two-dimensional Finsler space with Matsumoto metric satisfying L(${\alpha}$,${\beta}$)=${\alpha}$$^2$/(${\alpha}$-${\beta}$) be a Landsberg space and the differential equations of geodesics.
