Common best proximity points theorems in metric spaces

Abstract

In this paper, we first give an existence and uniqueness common best proximity point theorem for a pair of non-self mappings, one of which weakly dominates the other proximally. Moreover, an algorithm is exhibited to determine such unique common best proximity point. An example is also given to support our main result. Our main result extends and unifies some well-known results in the literature. © 2012 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
