A New Extension of Darbo's Fixed Point Theorem Using Relatively Meir-Keeler Condensing Operators
2018
We consider relatively Meir–Keeler condensing operators to study the existence of best proximity points (pairs) by using the notion of measure of noncompactness, and extend a result of Aghajani et al. [‘Fixed point theorems for Meir–Keeler condensing operators via measure of noncompactness’, Acta Math. Sci. Ser. B35 (2015), 552–566]. As an application of our main result, we investigate the existence of an optimal solution for a system of integrodifferential equations.
Best proximity points for cyclic Meir–Keeler contractions
2008
Abstract We introduce a notion of cyclic Meir–Keeler contractions and prove a theorem which assures the existence and uniqueness of a best proximity point for cyclic Meir–Keeler contractions. This theorem is a generalization of a recent result due to Eldred and Veeramani.
Best proximity point results for modified α-proximal C-contraction mappings
2014
First we introduce new concepts of contraction mappings, then we establish certain best proximity point theorems for such kind of mappings in metric spaces. Finally, as consequences of these results, we deduce best proximity point theorems in metric spaces endowed with a graph and in partially ordered metric spaces. Moreover, we present an example and some fixed point results to illustrate the usability of the obtained theorems. MSC:46N40, 46T99, 47H10, 54H25.
Optimization Problems via Best Proximity Point Analysis
2014
Many problems arising in different areas of mathematics, such as optimization, variational analysis, and differential equations, can be modeled as equations of the form Tx=x, where T is a given mapping in the framework of a metric space. However, such equation does not necessarily possess a solution if T happens to be nonself-mapping. In such situations, one speculates to determine an approximate solution x (called a best proximity point) that is optimal in the sense that the distance between x and Tx is minimum. The aim of best proximity point analysis is to provide sufficient conditions that assure the existence and uniqueness of a best proximity point. This special issue is focused on th…
A best proximity point approach to existence of solutions for a system of ordinary differential equations
2019
We establish the existence of a solution for the following system of differential equations (y x ′′((t t ) ) = = g f ((t t ,y x ((t t )) )) ,y x ((t t 0 0) ) = = x x *** in the space of all bounded and continuous real functions on [0, +∞[. We use best proximity point methods and measure of noncompactness theory under suitable assumptions on f and g. Some new best proximity point theorems play a key role in the above result.
A simulation function approach for best proximity point and variational inequality problems
2017
We study sufficient conditions for existence of solutions to the global optimization problem min(x is an element of A) d(x, fx), where A, B are nonempty subsets of a metric space (X, d) and f : A -> B belongs to the class of proximal simulative contraction mappings. Our results unify, improve and generalize various comparable results in the existing literature on this topic. As an application of the obtained theorems, we give some solvability theorems of a variational inequality problem.
Common best proximity points and global optimal approximate solutions for new types of proximal contractions
2015
Let $(\mathcal{X},d)$ be a metric space, $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ be two non-empty subsets of $\mathcal{X}$ and $\mathcal{S},\mathcal{T}: \mathcal{A} \to \mathcal{B}$ be two non-self mappings. In view of the fact that, given any point $x \in \mathcal{A}$, the distances between $x$ and $\mathcal{S}x$ and between $x$ and $\mathcal{T}x$ are at least $d(\mathcal{A}, \mathcal{B}),$ which is the absolute infimum of $d(x, \mathcal{S} x)$ and $d(x, \mathcal{T} x)$, a common best proximity point theorem affirms the global minimum of both the functions $x \to d(x, \mathcal{S}x)$ and $x \to d(x, \mathcal{T}x)$ by imposing the common approximate solution of the equations $\mathcal{S}x = x$ and $…
