Abstract

General $(\alpha,\beta)$-metrics form a rich and important class of Finsler metrics. In this paper, we obtain a differential equation which characterizes a general $(\alpha,\beta)$-metric with isotropic $E$-curvature, under a certain condition. We also solve the equation in a particular case.

Keywords: Finsler metric, general $(\alpha,\beta)$-metric, isotropic $E$-curvature
