In this paper, using the best proximity theorems for an extensionof Brosowski's theorem. We obtain other results on farthest points. Finally, wedene the concept of e- farthest points. We shall prove interesting relationshipbetween the -best approximation and the e-farthest points in normed linearspaces (X; ||.||). If z in W is a e-farthest point from an x in X, then z is also a-best approximati...

In this paper we prove existence theorems of best proximity pairs in uniformly convex spaces, using a fixed point theorem for Kakutani factorizable multi-functions.

In this article, we introduce a new class of non-self mappings, called weak proximal contractions, which contains the proximal contractions as a subclass. Existence and uniqueness results of a best proximity point for weak proximal contractions are obtained. Also, we provide sufficient conditions for the existence of common best proximity points for two non-self mappings in metric spaces having...

Let S : A→ B and T : A→ B be given non-self mappings, where A and B are non-empty subsets of a metric space. As S and T are non-self mappings, the equations Sx = x and T x = x do not necessarily have a common solution, called a common fixed point of the mappings S and T . Therefore, in such cases of nonexistence of a common solution, it is attempted to find an element x that is closest to both ...

The aim of this paper is to prove the existence and convergence theorems for cyclic contractions. We introduce a notion called proximally complete pair (A,B) on a metric space, which unify the earlier notions that are used to prove the existence of a best proximity point for a cyclic contraction. By observing geometrical properties on a Hilbert space, we introduce Pythagorean property and use t...

In this article, we introduce a new notion of proximal contraction, named as generalized S-proximal contraction and derive a common best proximity point theorem for proximally commuting non-self mappings, thereby yielding the common optimal approximate solution of some fixed point equations when there is no common solution. We furnish illustrative examples to highlight our results. We extend so...

Given A and B two subsets of a metric space, a mapping T : A∪B → A∪B is said to be cyclic if T (A) ⊆ B and T (B) ⊆ A. It is known that, if A and B are nonempty and complete and the cyclic map verifies for some k ∈ (0, 1) that d(Tx, Ty) ≤ kd(x, y) ∀ x ∈ A and y ∈ B, then A∩B 6= ∅ and the mapping T has a unique fixed point. A generalization of this situation was studied under the assumption of A ...

Let us consider two nonempty subsets A, B of a normed linear space X , and let us denote by 2B the set of all subsets of B. We introduce a new class of multivalued mappings {T : A → 2B}, called R-KKM mappings, which extends the notion of KKM mappings. First, we discuss some sufficient conditions for which the set ∩{T (x) : x ∈ A} is nonempty. Using this nonempty intersection theorem, we attempt...
