1. Introduction

Let A and B be nonempty subsets of a nonempty set D. A map G : A ∪B → A ∪ B is called a cyclic map if G(A) ⊂ B and G(B) ⊂ A. Let (X, d)be a metric space and T : A ∪ B → A ∪ B a cyclic map. For any nonemptysubsets A and B of X, let

dist(A, B) = inf{d(x, y) : x ∈ A, y ∈ B}.

A point x ∈ A ∪ B is called to be a best proximity point for T if

d(x, Tx) = dist(A, B).

Throughout this paper. we denote by N and R the sets of positive integersand real numbers, respectively.

Recently, the existence, uniqueness and convergence of iterates to the bestproximity point were investigated by many authors; see [1-5, 13-37] and ref-erences therein. In 2006, Eldred and Veeramani [13] first gave the concept ofcyclic contraction as follows.

Definition 1.1. [13] Let A and B be nonempty subset of a metric space(X, d). A map T : A ∪ B → A ∪ B is called a cyclic contraction if the followconditions hold:

(1) F (A) ⊂ B and F (B) ⊂ A;

(2) There exists k ∈ (0, 1) such that d(Fx, Fy) ≤ kd(x, y)+(1−k)dist(A, B)for all x ∈ A, y ∈ B.

In [13], Eldred and Veeramani first establishd the following interesting bestproximity point theorem.

Theorem 1.1. [13, Proposition 3.2] Let A and B be nonempty closedsubsets of a complete metric space X. Let T : A ∪ B → A ∪ B be a cycliccontraction map, x1 ∈ A and define xn+1 = Txn, n ∈ N. Suppose {xn−1} hasa convergent subsequence in A. The there exists x ∈ A such that d(x, Tx) =dist(A, B).

Very recently, Basha, Shahzad and Jeyaraj [5] first introduced the conceptof K-cyclic and C-cyclic mapping as follows.

Definition 1.2. [5] A pair of mappings T : A → B and S : B → A is saidto form a K-Cyclic mapping between A and B if there exists a nonnegativereal number k < 1

2such that

d(Tx, Sy) ≤ k[d(x, Tx) + d(y, Sy)] + (1 − 2k)d(A, B)

for all x ∈ A and y ∈ B.

Definition 1.3. [5] A pair of mappings T : A → B and S : B → A is saidto form a C-Cyclic mapping between A and B if there exists a nonnegativereal number k < 1

2such that

d(Tx, Sy) ≤ k[d(x, Sy) + d(y, Tx)] + (1 − 2k)d(A, B)

for all x ∈ A and y ∈ B.

In [5], Basha, Shahzad and Jeyaraj proved the following convergence the-orems.

Theorem 1.2. [5] Let A and B be two non-empty subsets of a metricspace. Suppose that the mappings F : A → B and G : B → A form a K-Cyclic map between A and B. For a fixed element x0 in A, let x2n+1 = Fx2n

and x2n = Gx2n−1. Then d(xn, xn+1) → d(A, B).

Theorem 1.3. [5] Let A and B be two non-empty subsets of a metricspace. Suppose that the mappings F : A → B and G : B → A form a C-Cyclic map between A and B. For a fixed element x0 in A, let x2n+1 = Fx2n

and x2n = Gx2n−1. Then d(xn, xn+1) → d(A, B).

Motivated by the concepts of K-cyclic and C-cyclic mapping and MT -function, Lin, Lakzian and Chou [20, 21] first introduce the concept of MT -Kand MT -C conditions as follows.

Definition 1.4. (Lin, Lakzian and Chou [20]) Let A and B be non-empty subsets of a metric space (X, d) and T : A → B and S : B → A bemaps. We call the pair of maps T and S satisfy MT -K condition if thereexists an MT -function ϕ : [0,∞) → [0, 1) such that

d(Tx, Sy) ≤ 1

2ϕ(d(x, y)

)[d(x, Tx) + d(y, Sy)] +

(1 − ϕ

(d(x, y)

))d(A, B)

for all x ∈ A, y ∈ B.

Definition 1.5. (Lin, Lakzian and Chou [21]) Let A and B be non-empty subsets of a metric space (X, d) and T : A → B and S : B → A bemaps. We call the pair of maps T and S satisfy MT -C condition if thereexists an MT -function ϕ : [0,∞) → [0, 1) such that

d(Tx, Sy) ≤ 1

2ϕ(d(x, y)

)[d(x, Sy) + d(y, Tx)] +

(1 − ϕ

(d(x, y)

))d(A, B)

for all x ∈ A, y ∈ B.

Theorem 1.4. (Lin, Lakzian and Chou [20]) Let A and B be non-emptysubsets of a metric space (X, d) and T : A → B and S : B → A. If the pair ofmaps T and S satisfy MT − K condition, then there exists a sequence {xn}in X such that

limn→∞

d(xn, xn+1) = d(A, B).

Theorem 1.4. (Lin, Lakzian and Chou [21]) Let A and B be two non-empty subsets of a metric space (X, d) and T : A → B and S : B → A bemaps. If the pair of mapsT and S satisfy MT -C condition, then there existsa sequence xn in X such that

In this paper, we will establish some generalizations of the main results of[20, 21]. Our results also generalizes and improves some results in the literatureand references therein.

2. Preliminaries

Let f be a real-valued function defined on R. For c ∈ R, we recall that

lim supx→c

f(x) = infε>0

sup0<|x−c|<ε

f(x)

and

lim supx→c+

f(x) = infε>0

sup0<x−c<ε

f(x).

Definition 2.1. [6-12] A function ϕ : [0,∞) → [0, 1) is said to be anMT -function (or R-function) if limsups→t+ϕ(s) < 1 for all t ∈ [0,∞).

It is obvious that if ϕ : [0,∞) → [0, 1) is a nondecreasing function ora nonincreasing function, then ϕ is an MT -function. So the set of MT -functions is a quite rich class. But it is worth to mention that there existfunctions which are not MT -functions.

Example 1.1. [11] Let ϕ : [0,∞) → [0, 1) be defined by

ϕ(t) :=

{sin t

t, if t ∈ (0, π

2]

0 , otherwise.

Since lim sups→0+

ϕ(s) = 1, ϕ is not an MT -function.

Very recently, Du [11] first proved some characterizations of MT -functions.

Theorem D. [11] Let ϕ : [0,∞) → [0, 1) be a function. Then the followingstatements are equivalent.

(a) ϕ is an MT -function.

(b) For each t ∈ [0,∞), there exist r(1)t ∈ [0, 1) and ε

(1)t > 0 such that

ϕ(s) ≤ r(1)t for all s ∈ (t, t + ε

(1)t ).

(c) For each t ∈ [0,∞), there exist r(2)t ∈ [0, 1) and ε

(2)t > 0 such that

ϕ(s) ≤ r(2)t for all s ∈ [t, t + ε

(2)t ].

Page 5: Some Existence and Convergence Theorems of Best.pdf

Existence and convergence theorems 2567

(d) For each t ∈ [0,∞), there exist r(3)t ∈ [0, 1) and ε

(3)t > 0 such that

ϕ(s) ≤ r(3)t for all s ∈ (t, t + ε

(3)t ].

(e) For each t ∈ [0,∞), there exist r(4)t ∈ [0, 1) and ε

(4)t > 0 such that

ϕ(s) ≤ r(4)t for all s ∈ [t, t + ε

(4)t ).

(f) For any nonincreasing sequence {xn}n∈� in [0,∞), we have 0≤ supn∈�

ϕ(xn) ≤1.

(g) ϕ is a function of contractive factor [8]; that is, for any strictlydecreasing sequence {xn}n∈� in [0,∞), we have 0≤ sup

n∈�ϕ(xn) ≤ 1.

3. Main results

In this section, we first establish a convergence theorem which is one of themain results in this paper.

Theorem 3.1. Let A and B be non-empty subsets of a metric space (X, d)and F : A → B and G : B → A be maps. If there exist a nondecreasingfunction μ : [0,∞) → [0,∞) and an MT -function ϕ : [0,∞) → [0, 1) suchthat

d(Fx,Gy) ≤ 1

))[d(x, Fx) + d(y, Gy)] +

[1 − ϕ

(μ(d(x, y)

))]d(A, B)

for all x ∈ A, y ∈ B, then there exists a sequence {xn} in X such that

limn→∞

d(xn, xn+1) = d(A, B).

Proof. Let x0 ∈ A be given. Define x2n+1 = Fx2n and x2n = Gx2n−1 for

each n ∈ N ∪ {0}. Then x2n ∈ A and x2n+1 ∈ B for each n ∈ N ∪ {0}. By(3.1), we have

d(x1, x2) = d(Fx0, Gx1)

≤ 1

2ϕ(μ(d(x0, x1)

))[d(x0, Fx0) + d(x1, Gx1)

[1 − ϕ

(μ(d(x0, x1)

))]d(A, B),

which implies

[1 − 1

2ϕ(μ(d(x0, x1)

))]d(x1, x2) ≤

[1 − 1

2ϕ(μ(d(x0, x1)

))]d(x0, x1)

+[1 − ϕ

(μ(d(x0, x1)

))]d(A, B). (3.2)

By (3.2), we obtain

d(x1, x2) ≤ϕ(μ(d(x0, x1)

))

2 − ϕ(μ(d(x0, x1)

))d(x0, x1) +[1 −

ϕ(μ(d(x0, x1)

))

2 − ϕ(μ(d(x0, x1)

))]d(A, B),

and hence

d(x1, x2) − d(A, B) ≤ϕ(μ(d(x0, x1)

))

2 − ϕ(μ(d(x0, x1)

))(d(x0, x1) − d(A, B)

).

By (3.1) again, we have

d(x2, x3) = d(Gx1, Fx2)

= d(Fx2, Gx1)

≤ 1

2ϕ(μ(d(x2, x1)

))[d(x2, x3) + d(x1, x2)

]+

[1 − ϕ

(μ(d(x2, x1)

))]d(A, B),

which implies

[1 − 1

2ϕ(μ(d(x2, x1)

))]d(x2, x3) ≤ 1

2ϕ(μ(d(x2, x1)

))d(x1, x2)

+[1 − ϕ

(μ(d(x2, x1)

))]d(A, B),

and hence

d(x2, x3) ≤ϕ(μ(d(x2, x1)

))

2 − ϕ(μ(d(x2, x1)

))d(x2, x1) +[1 −

ϕ(μ(d(x2, x1)

))

2 − ϕ(μ(d(x2, x1)

))]d(A, B)

or

d(x2, x3) − d(A, B) ≤ϕ(μ(d(x2, x1)

))

2 − ϕ(μ(d(x2, x1)

))[d(x2, x1) − d(A, B)

].

Page 7: Some Existence and Convergence Theorems of Best.pdf

Existence and convergence theorems 2569

By induction, we have

d(xn, xn+1) − d(A, B) ≤ϕ(μ(d(xn−1, xn)

))

2 − ϕ(μ(d(xn−1, xn)

))[d(xn−1, xn) − d(A, B)

].

Since ϕ(t) < 1 for all t ∈ [0,∞), we have ϕ(t)2−ϕ(t)

< 1 for all t ∈ [0,∞). By (3.3),we get

d(xn, xn+1) − d(A, B) < d(xn−1, xn) − d(A, B),

which implies d(xn, xn+1) < d(xn−1, xn) for all n ∈ N. So, the sequence{d(xn, xn+1)

}is strictly decreasing in [0,∞). Since ϕ is an MT -function,

by Theorem D, we obtain

0 ≤ supn∈�

ϕ(μ(d(xn, xn+1)

))< 1

Let α = supn∈�

ϕ(μ(d(xn, xn+1)

)). So 0 ≤ α < 1. Since

ϕ(μ(d(xn, xn+1)

))≤ α,

we have

2 − ϕ(μ(d(xn, xn+1)

))≥ 2 − α, for all n ∈ N.

So, by (3.4) and (3.5), we get

ϕ(μ(d(xn, xn+1)

))

2 − ϕ(μ(d(xn, xn+1)

)) ≤ α

2 − αfor all n ∈ N.

By (3.6),

0 ≤ supn∈�

ϕ(μ(d(xn, xn+1)

))

2 − ϕ(μ(d(xn, xn+1)

)) ≤ α

2 − α< 1

Let

β = supn∈�

ϕ(μ(d(xn, xn+1

)))

2 − ϕ(μ(d(xn, xn+1)

)) .

Page 8: Some Existence and Convergence Theorems of Best.pdf

2570 Ing-Jer Lin and Shu-Huei Yang

Then β ∈ [0, 1). It follows from (3.3) that

d(xn, xn+1) − d(A, B) ≤ϕ(μ(d(xn−1, xn)

))

2 − ϕ(μ(d(xn1, xn)

))(d(xn−1, xn) − d(A, B)

)

≤ β[d(xn−1, xn) − d(A, B)

]≤ β2

[d(xn−2, xn−1) − d(A, B)

]≤ . . .

≤ βn[d(x0, x1) − d(A, B)

]

Since β ∈ [0, 1), we have limn→∞

βn = 0. So, the last inequality implies

limn→∞

d(xn, xn+1) = d(A, B).

The proof is completed. �

The following result is immediate from Theorem 3.1.

Corollary 3.1. (Lin, Lakzian and Chou [20]) Let A and B be non-empty subsets of a metric space (X, d) and T : A → B and S : B → A. If thepair of maps T and S satisfy MT −K condition, then there exists a sequence{xn} in X such that

limn→∞

d(xn, xn+1) = d(A, B).

Corollary 3.2. [5] Let A and B be two non-empty subsets of a metricspace. Suppose that the mappings F : A → B and G : B → A form a K-Cyclic map between A and B. For a fixed element x0 in A, let x2n+1 = Fx2n

and x2n = Gx2n−1. Then d(xn, xn+1) → d(A, B).

Theorem 3.2. Let A and B be non-empty subsets of a metric space (X, d)and F : A → B and G : B → A be maps. Suppose that there exist anondecreasing function μ : [0,∞) → [0,∞) and an MT -function ϕ : [0,∞) →[0, 1) such that

d(Fx,Gy) ≤ 1

2ϕ(μ(d(x, y)

))[d(x, Fx) + d(y, Gy)] +

[1 − ϕ

(μ(d(x, y)

))]d(A, B)

for all x ∈ A, y ∈ B. If x0 ∈ A, define x2n+1 = Fx2n and x2n = Gx2n−1, n ∈ N,then the sequence {xn} is bounded.

Page 9: Some Existence and Convergence Theorems of Best.pdf

Existence and convergence theorems 2571

Proof. By Theorem 3.1, we have

limn→∞

d(xn, xn+1) = d(A, B).

Since {d(x2n+1, x2n)} is a subsequence of {d(xn, xn+1)}, we have

limn→∞

d(x2n−1, x2n) = d(A, B).

Hence {d(x2n−1, x2n)} is bounded. So there exists γ > 0 such that

d(x2n−1, x2n) ≤ γ for all n ∈ N.

For each n ∈ N, we have

d(x2n, Fx0) = d(Gx2n−1, Fx0)

≤ 1

2ϕ(μ(d(x2n−1, x0)

))[d(x2n−1, Gx2n−1) + d(x0, Fx0)

[1 − ϕ

((d(x2n−1, x0)

))]d(A, B)

<1

2[d(x2n−1, x2n) + d(x0, Fx0)] + d(A, B)

≤ 1

2[γ + d(x0, Fx0)] + d(A, B).

Let

ρ =1

2[γ + d(x0, Fx0)] + d(A, B).

So, x2n ∈ B(Fx0, ρ) for all n ∈ N. For each n ∈ N, since

d(x2n+1, Fx0) ≤ d(x2n, x2n+1) + d(x2n, Fx0) ≤ γ + ρ,

we get x2n+1 ∈ B(Fx0, γ + ρ) for all n ∈ N. On the other hand, since

x2n ∈ B(Fx0, ρ) ⊆ B(Fx0, γ + ρ) for all n ∈ N,

we also have x2n ∈ B(Fx0, ρ) for all n ∈ N. By above, we have

xn ∈ B(Fx0, γ + ρ) for all n ∈ N.

Therefore {xn} is bounded. The proof is completed. �

The following result is a special case of Theorem 3.2.

Corollary 3.3. (Lin, Lakzian and Chou [20]) Let A and B be two non-empty closed subsets of a metric space (X, d) and T : A → B and S : B

→ A be maps. If the pair of maps T and S satisfies MT -K condition. Ifx0 ∈ A, define x2n+1 = Tx2n and x2n = Sx2n−1, n ∈ N then the sequence xn isbounded.

Corollary 3.4. [5] Let A and B be two non-empty closed subsets of ametric space. Suppose that the mappings F : A → B and G : B → A form aK-Cyclic map between A and B. For a fixed element x0 in A, let x2n+1 = Fx2n

and x2n = Gx2n−1. Then the sequence xn is bounded.

Theorem 3.3. Let A and B be non-empty subsets of a metric space (X, d)and F : A → B and G : B → A be map. If there exist a nondecreasingfunction μ : [0,∞) → [0,∞) and an MT -function ϕ : [0,∞) → [0, 1) suchthat

for all x ∈ A, y ∈ B, then there exists a sequence {xn} in X such that

Proof. Let x0 ∈ A be given. Define x2n+1 = Fx2n and x2n = Gx2n−1 for

each n ∈ N ∪ {0}. Then x2n ∈ A and x2n+1 ∈ B for each n ∈ N ∪ {0}. By(3.5), we have

which implies d(xn, xn+1) < d(xn−1, xn) for all n ∈ N. So, the sequence{d(xn, xn+1)

}is a strictly decreasing in [0,∞). Since ϕ is an MT -function,

by Theorem D, we obtain

0 ≤ supn∈�

ϕ(μ(d(xn, xn+1)

))< 1

Let α = supn∈�

ϕ(μ(d(xn, xn+1)

)). So 0 ≤ α < 1. Since

ϕ(μ(d(xn, xn+1)

))≤ α, (3.10)

we have

2 − ϕ(μ(d(xn, xn+1)

))≥ 2 − α, for all n ∈ N. (3.11)

So, by (3.10) and (3.11), we get

ϕ(μ(d(xn, xn+1)

))

2 − ϕ(μ(d(xn, xn+1)

)) ≤ α

2 − αfor all n ∈ N. (3.12)

By, (3.12),

0 ≤ supn∈�

ϕ(μ(d(xn, xn+1)

))

2 − ϕ(μ(d(xn, xn+1)

)) ≤ α

2 − α< 1

Let

β = supn∈�

ϕ(μ(d(xn, xn+1)

))

2 − ϕ(μ(d(xn, xn+1)

)) .

Then β ∈ [0, 1). It follows from (3.9) that

d(xn, xn+1) − d(A, B) ≤ϕ(μ(d(xn−1, xn)

))

2 − ϕ(μ(d(xn1, xn)

))(d(xn−1, xn) − d(A, B)

)

≤ β[d(xn−1, xn) − d(A, B)

]≤ β2

[d(xn−2, xn−1) − d(A, B)

]≤ . . .

≤ βn[d(x0, x1) − d(A, B)

Since β ∈ [0, 1), we have limn→∞

βn = 0. So, the last inequality implies

limn→∞

d(xn, xn+1) = d(A, B).

Then proof is completed. �

Corollary 3.5. (Lin, Lakzian and Chou [21]) Let A and B be two non-empty subsets of a metric space (X, d) and T : A → B and S : B → A bemaps. If the pair of mapsT and S satisfy MT -C condition, then there existsa sequence xn in X such that

limn→∞

d(xn, xn+1) = d(A, B).

Corollary 3.6. [5] Let A and B be two non-empty subsets of a metricspace. Suppose that the mappings F : A → B and G : B → A form a C-Cyclic map between A and B. For a fixed element x0 in A, let x2n+1 = Fx2n

and x2n = Gx2n−1. Then d(xn, xn+1) → d(A, B).
