Abstract

In this paper, we prove that every generalized cubic Finsler metric with vanishing Landsberg curvature is a Berwald metric. This yields an extension of Matsumoto theorem for the cubic metric. Then, we show that every generalized 4-th root Finsler metric with vanishing Landsberg curvature is a Berwald metric.
