The existence and convergence of best proximity points for generalized proximal contraction mappings

Abstract

In 2011, Sadiq Basha (Nonlinear Anal. 74:5844-5850, 2011) studied and established best proximity point theorems for proximal contractions of the first and the second kinds which are more general than the fixed point theorems of self-contractions. The purpose of this paper is to extend the notion of proximal contraction mappings of the first and the second kinds. We also establish the existence and convergence of best proximity point theorems for these classes and give an example to validate our main results. MSC: 47H10, 47H09.
