A note on best proximity point theory using proximal contractions
2018
In this paper, a reduction technique is used to show that some recent results on the existence of best proximity points for various classes of proximal contractions can be concluded from the corresponding results in fixed point theory.
Best proximity point theorems for proximal cyclic contractions
2017
The purpose of this article is to compute a global minimizer of the function $$x\longrightarrow d(x, Tx)$$ , where T is a proximal cyclic contraction in the framework of a best proximally complete space, thereby ensuring the existence of an optimal approximate solution, called a best proximity point, to the equation $$Tx=x$$ when T is not necessarily a self-mapping.
Best approximation and variational inequality problems involving a simulation function
2016
We prove the existence of a g-best proximity point for a pair of mappings, by using suitable hypotheses on a metric space. Moreover, we establish some convergence results for a variational inequality problem, by using the variational characterization of metric projections in a real Hilbert space. Our results are applicable to classical problems of optimization theory.
A note on best approximation in 0-complete partial metric spaces
2014
We study the existence and uniqueness of best proximity points in the setting of 0-complete partial metric spaces. We get our results by showing that the generalizations, which we have to consider, are obtained from the corresponding results in metric spaces. We introduce some new concepts and consider significant theorems to support this fact.
Best Proximity Point Results in Non-Archimedean Fuzzy Metric Spaces
2013
We consider the problem of finding a best proximity point which achieves the minimum distance between two nonempty sets in a non-Archimedean fuzzy metric space. First we prove the existence and uniqueness of the best proximity point by using di fferent contractive conditions, then we present some examples to support our best proximity point theorems.
The existence of best proximity points in metric spaces with the property UC
2009
Abstract Eldred and Veeramani in [A.A. Eldred, P. Veeramani, Existence and convergence of best proximity points, J. Math. Anal. Appl., 323 (2006), 1001–1006. MR2260159] proved a theorem which ensures the existence of a best proximity point of cyclic contractions in the framework of uniformly convex Banach spaces. In this paper we introduce a notion of the property UC and extend the Eldred and Veeramani theorem to metric spaces with the property UC.
Best proximity points: Convergence and existence theorems for p-cyclic mappings
2010
Abstract We introduce a new class of mappings, called p -cyclic φ -contractions, which contains the p -cyclic contraction mappings as a subclass. Then, convergence and existence results of best proximity points for p -cyclic φ -contraction mappings are obtained. Moreover, we prove results of the existence of best proximity points in a reflexive Banach space. These results are generalizations of the results of Al-Thagafi and Shahzad (2009) [8] .
Best proximity point theorems for rational proximal contractions
2013
Abstract We provide sufficient conditions which warrant the existence and uniqueness of the best proximity point for two new types of contractions in the setting of metric spaces. The presented results extend, generalize and improve some known results from best proximity point theory and fixed-point theory. We also give some examples to illustrate and validate our definitions and results. MSC:41A65, 46B20, 47H10.
Best Proximity Points for Some Classes of Proximal Contractions
2013
Given a self-mapping g: A → A and a non-self-mapping T: A → B, the aim of this work is to provide sufficient conditions for the existence of a unique point x ∈ A, called g-best proximity point, which satisfies d g x, T x = d A, B. In so doing, we provide a useful answer for the resolution of the nonlinear programming problem of globally minimizing the real valued function x → d g x, T x, thereby getting an optimal approximate solution to the equation T x = g x. An iterative algorithm is also presented to compute a solution of such problems. Our results generalize a result due to Rhoades (2001) and hence such results provide an extension of Banach's contraction principle to the case of non-s…
phi-Best proximity point theorems and applications to variational inequality problems
2017
The main concern of this study is to introduce the notion of $$\varphi $$ -best proximity points and establish the existence and uniqueness of $$\varphi $$ -best proximity point for non-self mappings satisfying $$(F,\varphi )$$ -proximal and $$(F,\varphi )$$ -weak proximal contraction conditions in the context of complete metric spaces. Some examples are supplied to support the usability of our results. As applications of the obtained results, some new best proximity point results in partial metric spaces are presented. Furthermore, sufficient conditions to ensure the existence of a unique solution for a variational inequality problem are also discussed.
