Abstract

Abstract In this paper, we first introduce a cyclic generalized contraction map in metric spaces and give an existence result for a best proximity point of such mappings in the setting of a uniformly convex Banach space. Then we give an existence and uniqueness best proximity point theorem for non-self proximal generalized contractions. Moreover, an algorithm is exhibited to determine such a unique best proximity point. Some examples are also given to support our main results. Our results extend and improve certain recent results in the literature. MSC: 46N40, 47H10, 54H25, 46T99.

Summary

Introduction

Best proximity point theory of cyclic contraction maps has been studied by many authors; see [ – ] and references therein. Best proximity points for cyclic generalized contractions Let A and B be nonempty subsets of a metric space (X, d), T : A ∪ B → A ∪ B, T(A) ⊆ B and T(B) ⊆ A.
