A Sampler of Riemann-Finsler Geometryby D. Bao, R. Bryant, S. Chern, Z. Shen - Cambridge University Press
Finsler geometry generalizes Riemannian geometry in the same sense that Banach spaces generalize Hilbert spaces. The contributors consider issues related to volume, geodesics, curvature, complex differential geometry, and parametrized jet bundles.

Medians and Means in Riemannian Geometry: Existence, Uniqueness and Computationby M. Arnaudon, F. Barbaresco, L. Yang - arXiv
This paper is a short summary of our recent work on the medians and means of probability measures in Riemannian manifolds. The existence and uniqueness results of local medians are given. We propose a subgradient algorithm and prove its convergence.
