In this paper, We find a sufficient and necessary condition for an important class of (α,β)-metrics in the form F =αφ(α/β) to be projectively flat. we prove the followingTheorem 1.2 Let F =αφ(α/β) be a Finsler metric on a manifold M, where a is a Riemann metric,β= biyi a 1-form with (?)x∈M, b := ||βx|| < b0,φ=φ(s) a C∞function on (-b0, b0) satisfyingandwhere p≠0. The solutionsφof the above condition are analyic near the origin and the power series of the solutions are of the formwhere C1 are arbitrary constants. If C1≠0 and r≠1 or C1 = 0 but r =-1/2k, where k is any positive integer, then F =αφ(α/β) is projectively flat if and only ifand the spray cefficients Gαi ofαsatisfy...
