In the present paper, we study existence of best proximity pair in ultrametric spaces. We show, under suitable assumptions, that proximinal $$(A,B)$$ has a pair. As consequence generalize well known approximation result and derive some fixed point theorems. Moreover, provide examples to illustrate obtained results.

A common fixed-point generalization of the results of Dotson, Tarafdar, and Taylor is obtained which in turn extends a recent theorem by Jungck and Seasa to locally convex spaces. As applications of our work, we improve and unify well-known results on fixed points and common fixed points of beat approximation. @ 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
