Abstract
In this paper, minimal submanifolds in Finsler spaces with ( α , β )-metrics are studied. Especially, helicoids are also minimal in ( α , β )-Minkowski spaces. Then the minimal surfaces of conoid in Finsler spaces with ( α , β )-metrics are given. Last, the Gauss curvature of the conoid in the 3-dimension Randers-Minkowski space is studied.
