The geometry on the slope of a mountain
Abstract
The geometry on a slope of a mountain is the geometry of a Finsler metric, called here the slope metric. We study the existence of globally defined slope metrics on surfaces of revolution as well as the geodesic's behavior. A comparison between Finslerian and Riemannian areas of a bounded region is also studied.
