A Finsler metric \(F\) is called spherically symmetric if \(F(Ax,Ay)=F(x,y)\), for all \(A\in O(n)\). Also, a Finsler metric is a Douglas metric if its Douglas curvature vanishes. In this paper the authors characterize spherically symmetric Douglas metrics in terms of a transport differential equation with variable coefficients. Solving this equation, they obtain all spherically symmetric Douglas metrics. Then they provide many explicit examples of such metrics.
