Let us consider a pair (A, B) of nonempty subsets of a metric space X and a mapping T : A → B. In this article, we introduced a notion called P−property and used it to prove sufficient conditions for the existence of a point x0 ∈ A, called best proximity point, satisfying d(x0, Tx0) = dist(A, B) := inf{d(a, b) : a ∈ A, b ∈ B}.

In this paper, we first introduce the concept of MT − K condition. Some best proximity point theorems for mappings satisfying MT − K condition instead of K-cyclic mappings are established in metric spaces. Our results generalize and improve some main results in [5] and references therein. Mathematics Subject Classification: 54H25

In this paper, we introduce a pair of generalized proximal contraction mappings and prove the existence of a unique best proximity point for such mappings in a complete metric space. We provide examples to illustrate our result. Our result extends some of the results in the literature.

The notion of generalized Berinde type contraction non-self maps in partially ordered metric spaces is introduced, and some best proximity point theorems for this class are established. Mathematics Subject Classification: 47H10, 54H25

Here we introduce certain multivalued maps and use them to obtain minimum distance between two closed sets. It is a proximity point problem, which is treated here as a problem of finding global optimal solutions of certain fixed point inclusions. It is an application of setvalued analysis. The results we obtain here extend some results and are illustrated with examples. Applications are made to...

The purpose of this article is to first introduce the notion of tripled best proximity point and cyclic contraction pair. We also establish the existence and convergence theorems of tripled best proximity points in metric spaces. Moreover, we apply our results to setting of uniformly convex Banach space. Finally, we obtain some results on the existence and convergence of tripled fixed point in ...

The purpose of this paper is to prove an existence and uniqueness theorems of the multivariate best proximity point in the complete metric spaces. The concept of multivariate best proximity point is firstly introduced in this article. These new results improve and extend the previously known ones in the literature. c ©2016 All rights reserved.

In this paper, we introduce the results of best proximity point in G-metric spaces for the cyclic contraction mapping with an example that illustrates the usability of the obtained results. 2010 AMS Subject Classification: 41A65, 46B85, 47H25.

Existence and approximation of best proximity points is an interesting topic for which one can see [2, 3, 4, 6, 5] for more information. Another extension of Banach contraction principle was given by Nieto and Rodriguez-Lopez in partially ordered metric spaces [9]. They proved some fixed point theorems in partially ordered sets in order to show the existence and uniqueness for a first-order ord...
