Let \(\pi:E\to M\) be a vector bundle of rank \(m\) on the \(n\)-dimensional differential manifold \(M\). The bundle \(\pi_1:F= \pi^{-1}E\to E\) induced by \(\pi\) from \(\pi:E\to M\) was considered by \textit{D. Opriş} [Finsler spaces, Proc. Nat. Semin., Univ. Braşov 1980, 185-193 (1981; Zbl 0485.53053)] who called it vector bundle of Finsler type. If \(\pi\circ \pi_1:F\to M\) is a vector bundle (of rank \(2m\)), then \(F\) is denoted by \(F_M\). The author studies connections in such a vector bundle of Finsler type, especially, nonlinear connections on \(F\) or \(F_M\), and he proposes a definition of nonlinear connection in the second-order tangent bundle of \(M\).
