Abstract
Recently, Lie derivatives of d-object fields have been studied in vector bundles (cf. [9]). The purpose of this paper is to apply this theory to tangent bundles and obtain the Killing equations with respect to an infinitesimal transformations. Uutil now, these problems have studied only for Finsler spaces.
