Otsuki–Weyl space
An Otsuki space [a6], [a7] is a manifold $M$ endowed with two different linear connections $\square ^ { '' } \Gamma$ and $\square ^ { \prime } \Gamma$ (cf. also Connections on a manifold) and a non-degenerate $( 1,1 )$ tensor field $P$ of constant rank (cf. also tensor analysis), where the connection coefficients $\square ^ { \prime \prime } \Gamma _ { j k } ^ { i } ( x )$, $x \in M$, are used in the computation of the contravariant, and the $\square ^ { \prime } \Gamma _ { j k } ^ { i } ( x )$ in the computation of the covariant, components of the invariant (covariant) differential of a tensor (vector). For a tensor field $T$ of type $( 1,1 )$, the invariant differential $DT$ and the covariant differential $\nabla T$ have the following forms
\begin{equation*} D T _ { j } ^ { i } = \nabla _ { k } T _ { j } ^ { i } d x ^ { k } = \end{equation*}

$\square ^ { \prime } \Gamma$ and $\square ^ { '' } \Gamma$ are connected by the relation

Thus, $\square ^ { '' } \Gamma$ and $P$ determine $\square ^ { \prime } \Gamma$. T. Otsuki calls these a general connection. For $P ^ { i } _ { r } = \delta ^ { i }_r$ one obtains $\square ^ { \prime } \Gamma = \square ^ { \prime \prime } \Gamma$ and the usual invariant differential.
If $M$ is endowed also with a Riemannian metric $g$, then $\square ^ { \prime \prime } \Gamma _ { j k } ^ { i } ( x )$ may be the Christoffel symbol $\{ \square _ { j k } ^ { i } \}$.
In a Weyl space $W ^ { n } = ( M , g , \gamma )$ one has $\nabla _ { i g j k } = \gamma _ { i g j k }$. A Weyl–Otsuki space $W - O _ { n }$ [a1] is a $W ^ { m }$ endowed with an Otsuki connection. The $\square ^ { \prime \prime } \Gamma _ { r k } ^ { t }$ are defined here as
\begin{equation*} \square ^ { \prime \prime } \Gamma _ { r k } ^ { t } = \{ \square _ { r k } ^ { t } \} - \frac { 1 } { 2 } g ^ { t s } ( \gamma _ { k } m _ { r s } + \gamma _ { r } m _ { s k } - \gamma _ { s } m _ { r k } ), \end{equation*}
\begin{equation*} m _ { r s } = g _ { ij} Q _ { r } ^ { i } Q _ { s } ^ { j }, \end{equation*}
where $Q$ is the inverse of $P$. $W - O _ { n }$ spaces were studied mainly by A. Moór [a2], [a3].
He extended the Otsuki connection also to affine and metrical line-element spaces, obtaining Finsler–Otsuki spaces $F - O _ { n }$ [a4], [a5] with invariant differential
\begin{equation*} D T_j^i = \end{equation*}

Here, all objects depend on the line-element $( x , \dot { x } )$, the $T$, $P$, $\square ^ { \prime } \Gamma$, $\square ^ { '' } \Gamma$ are homogeneous of order $O$, and $C$ is a tensor.
