A Riemannian metricg on a manifold M is a family of inner products {gx}x∈M such that the quantities $${g_{ij}}(x): = g\left( {\frac{\partial }{{\partial {x^i}}},\frac{\partial }{{\partial {x^i}}}} \right)$$ are smooth in local coordinates. The Finsler function F(x, y) of a Riemannian manifold has the characteristic structure $$F(x,y) = \sqrt {{g_{ij(x)}}{y^i}{y^j}} $$.
