In this work we investigate a class of admitting center maps on a metric space. We state and prove some fixed point and best proximity point theorems for them. We obtain some results and relevant examples. In particular, we show that if $X$ is a reflexive Banach space with the Opial condition and $T:Crightarrow X$ is a continuous admiting center map, then $T$ has a fixed point in $X.$ Also, we ...

This article investigates some properties of quasi-cyclic and cyclic Jungck modified TS-iterative schemes in complete metric spaces and Banach spaces. In particular, properties of convergence of distances and sequences associated with the self-mappings which define the Jungck modified TS-iterative procedures are studied as well as some properties concerning the convergence of the solution to co...

Berinde [V. Berinde, Approximating fixed points of weak contractions using the Picard iteration, Nonlinear Anal. Forum {bf 9} (2004), 43-53] introduced almost contraction mappings and proved Banach contraction principle for such mappings. The aim of this paper is to introduce the notion of multivalued almost $Theta$- contraction mappings andto prove some best proximity point results for t...

Throughout this paper, by R we denote the set of all nonnegative numbers, while N is the set of all natural numbers. Let A and B be nonempty subsets of a metric space X, d . Consider a mapping f : A ∪ B → A ∪ B, f is called a cyclic map if f A ⊆ B and f B ⊆ A. A point x in A is called a best proximity point of f in A if d x, fx d A,B is satisfied, where d A,B inf{d x, y : x ∈ A,y ∈ B}, and x ∈ ...

Given non-empty subsets A and B of a metric space, let S : A → B and T : A → B be non-self mappings. Taking into account the fact that, given any element x in A, the distance between x and Sx, and the distance between x and Tx are at least d(A,B), a common best proximity point theorem affirms global minimum of both functions x → d(x, Sx) and x → d(x, Tx) by imposing a common approximate solutio...

We first consider a cyclic φ-contraction map on a reflexive Banach space X and provide a positive answer to a question raised by Al-Thagafi and Shahzad on the existence of best proximity points for cyclic φ-contraction maps in reflexive Banach spaces in one of their works 2009 . In the second part of the paper, we will discuss the existence of best proximity points in the framework of more gene...
