Abstract

This note is concerned with proximinality and best proximity pair theorems in hyperconvex metric spaces and in Hilbert spaces. Given two subsets A and B of a metric space and a mapping best proximity pair theorems provide sufficient conditions that ensure the existence of an such that

Thus such theorems provide optimal approximate solutions in the case that the mapping T does not have fixed points.

Notes

aA Banach space is hyperconvex if and only if it is isometrically isomorphic to a space of continuous functions on a stonian space K (see, e.g., Schaefer (1974))
