In this paper, we present two main results about best proximity points for multivalued mappings. First, taking into account Klim and Wardowski’s approach in fixed-point theory, we obtain a new result for multivalued mappings which includes the main theorem of Kamran [Kamranm, T. (2009). Mizoguchi–Takahashi’s type fixed point theorem. Comput. Math. Appl. 57(3):507–511]. Second, combining this approach with cyclic contraction, we give a general best proximity point result, and so we obtain many well-known fixed-point theorems such as Mizoguchi–Takahashi, Feng–Liu and Klim–Wardowski [Mizoguchi, N., Takahashi, W. (1989). Fixed point theorems for multivalued mappings on complete metric spaces. J. Math. Anal. Appl. 141(1):177–188; Feng, Y., Liu, S. (2006). Fixed point theorems for multi-valued contractive mappings and multi-valued Caristi type mappings. J. Math. Anal. Appl. 317(1):103–112; Klim, D., Wardowski, D. (2007). Fixed point theorems for set-valued contractions in complete metric spaces. J. Math. Anal. Appl. 334(1):132–139]. Also, we support our results by providing some nontrivial, illustrative and comparative examples.
