View source for Finsler metric

{{TEX|done}}
A metric of a space that can be given by a real positive-definite convex function $F(x,y)$ of coordinates of $x$ and components of contravariant vectors $y$ acting at the point $x$. A space supplied with a Finsler metric is called a Finsler space, and its geometry [[Finsler geometry]].
