Finsler Geometry, Sapporo 2005 : In Memory of Makoto Matsumoto

This volume contains surveys and original articles based on the talks given at the 40th Finsler Symposium on Finsler Geometry, held on September 9-10, 2005 at Hokkaido Tokai University, Sapporo, Japan. The symposium was not only a meeting of the Finsler geometers from Japan and abroad but also a commemoration of the late Professor Makoto Matsumoto. The papers included in this volume contain fundamental topics of modern Riemann-Finsler geometry, interesting for specialists in Finsler geometry as well as researchers in Riemannian geometry or other fields of differential geometry and its applications.
