Abstract

We generalize the notion of best proximity points in the context of modular function spaces. We have found sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of best proximity points for cyclic maps in modular function spaces. We present an application of the main result for cyclic integral operators in Orlicz function spaces, endowed with an Orlicz function modular.

Highlights

  • A fundamental result in fixed point theory is the Banach contraction principle in Banach spaces or in complete metric spaces

  • Fixed point theory is an important tool for solving equations T x = x for mapping T defined on subsets of metric or normed spaces

  • Besides the idea of defining a norm and considering a Banach space, another direction of generalization of the Banach contraction principle is based on considering an abstractly given functional defined on a linear space, which controls the growth of the members of the space

Summary

Introduction

A fundamental result in fixed point theory is the Banach contraction principle in Banach spaces or in complete metric spaces. Besides the idea of defining a norm and considering a Banach space, another direction of generalization of the Banach contraction principle is based on considering an abstractly given functional defined on a linear space, which controls the growth of the members of the space. This functional is usually called modular and defines a modular space. We have tried to generalize the idea of best proximity points in modular function spaces and to present an application for integral operators in Orlicz function spaces, endowed with an Orlicz function modular
