We investigated the existence and uniqueness of coupled best proximity points for some cyclic and semi-cyclic maps in a reflexive Banach space. We found sufficient conditions, ensuring the existence of coupled best proximity points in reflexive Banach spaces and some convexity types of conditions, ensuring uniqueness of the coupled best proximity points in strictly convex Banach spaces. We illustrate the results with examples and we present an application of one of the theorems in the modeling of duopoly markets, to have an existence of market equilibrium. We show that, in general, the iterative sequences can have chaotic behavior.
We present a condition that guarantees the existence and uniqueness of fixed (or best proximity) points in complete metric space (or uniformly convex Banach spaces) for a wide class of cyclic maps, called p–cyclic summing maps. These results generalize some known results from fixed point theory. We find a priori and a posteriori error estimates of the fixed (or best proximity) point for the Picard iteration associated with the investigated class of maps, provided that the modulus of convexity of the underlying space is of power type. We illustrate the results with some applications and examples.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
