Abstract

In the present paper the deviations from parallelism and equidistance are studied for Finsler spaces in Cartan’s sense and for Finsler space which is locally Minkowskian. By considering an orthogonal ennuple of hypersurfaces in Fn properties of associate curvature or angular spread vector have been studied.
