Description and Table of Contents
Description
G-Spaces are finitely compact metric spaces in which the condition of extensibility of the shortest curve locally holds. Sufficiently regular Finsler spaces, in particular, Riemannian spaces, are G-Spaces.
The book is intended for students, post-graduate students and specialized researchers of mathematics.
