Abstract

In this paper, we consider the class of L-reducible Finsler metrics which contains the class of C-reducible metrics and the class of Landsberg metrics. Let (M,F) be a 3-dimensional L-reducible Finsler manifold. Suppose that F has a relatively isotropic mean Landsberg curvature. We find a condition on the main scalars of F under which it reduces to a Randers metric or a Landsberg metric.
