Abstract: In this paper, we prove that on every Finsler manifold $(M,,F)$ with reversibility $lambda$ and flag curvature $K$ satisfying $left(fraclambdalambda+1ight{)}^2<Kle1$, there exist $[fracdimM+12]$ closed geodesics. If the number of closed geodesics is finite, then there exist $[fracdimM2]$ non-hyperbolic closed geodesics. Moreover, there are 3 closed geodesics on $(M,,F)$ satisfying the above pinching condition when $dimM=3$.
