ABSTRACT

In this paper, an infinitesimal transformation , where the vector vi is recurrent has been considered in an NPR- Finsler space. Such transformation is being called special recurrent transformation if the recurrence vector of the NPR- Finsler space is Lie invariant. Besides different properties of such transformation, the conditions for such transformation to be curvature collineation and an afine motion have been obtained.

Keywords and Phrases: NPR-Finsler space, recurrent vector fields, special recurrent transformation, curvature collineation, affne motion.

RESUMEN

En este artículo se considera una transformación infinitesimal , donde el vector vⁱ es recurrente, en un espacio NPR- Finsler. Tal transformación se dice transformación recurrente especial si el vector recurrente del espacio NPR- Finsler es Lie invariante. Además se han obtenido diferentes propiedades de dicha transformación y las condiciones para que ésta sea una colineación de curvatura y una moción afín.
