The \(\mathcal L\)-dual of a special Finsler space with metric \((\alpha+\frac{\beta^2}{\alpha})\) (Q2839702)

Let \(F^{n}=(M,F)\) be an \(n\)-dimensional Finsler space. The fundamental function \(F(x,y)\) is called an \((\alpha,\beta)\)-metric if \(F\) is a homogeneous function of \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) of degree one, where \(\alpha^{2} = a_{ij} y^{i}y^{j}\), \(y = y^{i} \frac{\partial}{\partial{x^{i}}} \in T_{x}M\) is a Riemannian metric and \(\beta = b_{i}(x) y^{i}\) is a \(1\)-form on \(\widetilde{TM} = TM \setminus \{0\}\).

In particular the fundamental metric of such a space is determined.
