摘要
The solutions to Hilbert's Fourth Problem in the regular case are projectively flat Finsler metrics. In this paper, we consider the so-called (alpha,beta)-metrics defined by a Riemannian metric alpha and a 1-form beta, and find a necessary and sufficient condition for such metrics to be projectively flat in dimension n >= 3.
