In this work we investigate a class of admitting center maps on a metric space. We state and prove some fixed point and best proximity point theorems for them. We obtain some results and relevant examples. In particular, we show that if $X$ is a reflexive Banach space with the Opial condition and $T:Crightarrow X$ is a continuous admiting center map, then $T$ has a fixed point in $X.$ Also, we ...

Berinde [V. Berinde, Approximating fixed points of weak contractions using the Picard iteration, Nonlinear Anal. Forum {bf 9} (2004), 43-53] introduced almost contraction mappings and proved Banach contraction principle for such mappings. The aim of this paper is to introduce the notion of multivalued almost $Theta$- contraction mappings andto prove some best proximity point results for t...

Best approximation results provide an approximate solution to the fixed point equation $Tx=x$, when the non-self mapping $T$ has no fixed point. In particular, a well-known best approximation theorem, due to Fan cite{5}, asserts that if $K$ is a nonempty compact convex subset of a Hausdorff locally convex topological vector space $E$ and $T:Krightarrow E$ is a continuous mapping, then there exi...

Throughout this paper, by R we denote the set of all nonnegative numbers, while N is the set of all natural numbers. Let A and B be nonempty subsets of a metric space X, d . Consider a mapping f : A ∪ B → A ∪ B, f is called a cyclic map if f A ⊆ B and f B ⊆ A. A point x in A is called a best proximity point of f in A if d x, fx d A,B is satisfied, where d A,B inf{d x, y : x ∈ A,y ∈ B}, and x ∈ ...

Assume that A and B are non-void subsets of a metric space, and that S : A −→ B and T : A −→ B are given non-self mappings. In light of the fact that S and T are non-self mappings, it may happen that the equations Sx = x and Tx = x have no common solution, named a common fixed point of the mappings S and T . Subsequently, in the event that there is no common solution of the preceding equations,...

In this paper, we obtain the existence and the uniqueness of common best proximity point theorems for non-self mappings between two subsets of a complex valued metric space satisfying certain contractive conditions. Our results supported by some examples.

We first consider a cyclic φ-contraction map on a reflexive Banach space X and provide a positive answer to a question raised by Al-Thagafi and Shahzad on the existence of best proximity points for cyclic φ-contraction maps in reflexive Banach spaces in one of their works 2009 . In the second part of the paper, we will discuss the existence of best proximity points in the framework of more gene...

In this paper, we prove the existence and uniqueness of a coupled best proximity point for mappings satisfying the proximally coupled contraction condition in a complete ordered metric space. Further, our result provides an extension of a result
