Abstract

In 1994, S. Basco and M. Matsumoto studied the concept of projective change between two Finsler spaces with (α,β)-metrics. Projective change between two Finsler metrics arises from Information Geometry. In the present paper, we find conditions to characterize the projective change between two (α,β)-metrics, such as special cubic (α,β)-metric and Randers metric on a manifold with dim n≥3, where α and   α-  are two Riemannian metrics, β and β-  are two non-zero 1-forms.
