Abstract

The present paper deals with a Randers metric that has been derived after a particular β-change in the mth root metric. Various geometers such as [7], [9], [10] etc. have studied the mth root metric and its transformations. We have obtained some tensors and theorems holding the relation between the Finsler space equipped with the mth root metric and the one obtained after its Randers change.
