Abstract:
      In this paper, we get necessary and sufficient conditions for a Finsler space endowed with an $(\alpha,\beta)$-metric where its geodesic coefficients $G^{i}(x,y)$ and the reverse of geodesic coefficients $G^{i}(x,-y)$ have the same Douglas curvature. They are the conditions such that $(\alpha,\beta)$-metrics have reversible geodesics.
