Abstract

In this note, some basic structural conditions that are imposed on a Finsler manifold as a consequence of existence of a conformal gradient field are presented. Then, after reiterating the definition of warped product Finsler manifolds and the constituents of its related variational problem, the correlation between geodesics of this warped product structure and geodesics of its constructing Finsler manifolds is studied.
