On a generalization of a relatively nonexpansive mapping and best proximity pair

Abstract

AbstractLet A and B be two nonempty subsets of a normed space X, and let $T: A \cup B \to A \cup B$ T : A ∪ B → A ∪ B be a cyclic (resp., noncyclic) mapping. The objective of this paper is to establish weak conditions on T that ensure its relative nonexpansiveness.The idea is to recover the results mentioned in two papers by Matkowski (Banach J. Math. Anal. 2:237–244, 2007; J. Fixed Point Theory Appl. 24:70, 2022), by replacing the nonexpansive mapping $f: C \to C$ f : C → C with a cyclic (resp., noncyclic) relatively nonexpansive mapping to obtain the best proximity pair. Additionally, we provide an application to a functional equation.
