2-best proximity points in each of the subsets
A general contractive condition has been proposed in [1, 2] for mappings on a partially ordered metric space Some results about the existence of a fixed point and then its
Trang 3contractive condition proposed in [3] includes as particular cases several of the previously proposed ones [1, 4–12], including Banach principle [5] and Kannan fixed point theorems [4, 8, 9, 11] The rational contractive conditions of [1, 2] are applicable only on distinct points of the considered metric spaces In particular, the fixed point theory for Kannan mappings is extended in [4] by the use of a non-increasing function affecting the contractive condition and the best constant to ensure a fixed point is also obtained Three fixed point theorems which extended the fixed point theory for Kannan mappings were stated and proved in [11] More attention has been paid to the investigation of standard contractive and Meir-Keeler-type contractive 2-cyclic self-mappings T:A∪B→A∪B defined on subsets A,B⊆X and, in general, p-cyclic self-
mappings T :Ui∈p A i→Ui∈p A i defined on any number of subsets A i ⊂X , { , , , p}

i∈ := 1 2 , where (X , d) is a metric space (see, for instance [13–22]). More recent investigation about cyclic self-mappings is being devoted to its characterization in partially ordered spaces and also to the formal extension of the contractive condition through the use of more general strictly increasing functions of the distance between adjacent subsets In particular, the uniqueness of the best proximity points to which all the sequences of iterates of composed self-mappings T2:A∪B→A∪B converge is proven in [14] for the extension of the contractive principle for cyclic self-mappings in uniformly convex Banach spaces (then being strictly convex and reflexive [23]) if the subsets A,B⊂X in the metric space (X , d), or in the Banach space (X , ), where the 2-
cyclic self-mappings are defined, are both non-empty, convex and closed The research in [14] is centred on the case of the cyclic self-mapping being defined on the union of two subsets of the metric space Those results are extended in [15] for Meir-Keeler cyclic contraction maps and, in general, for the self-mapping T :Ui∈p A i→Ui∈p A i be a p( )≥ 2 -cyclic self-mapping being defined on any number of subsets of the metric space with
Trang 4{ , , , p}
p:= 1 2 Also, the concept of best proximity points of (in general) non-mappings S , T:A→B relating non-empty subsets of metric spaces in the case that such maps do not have common fixed points has recently been investigated in [24, 25] Such an approach is extended in [26] to a mapping structure being referred to as K-cyclic mapping with contractive constant k<1 /2 In [27], the basic properties of cyclic self-mappings under a rational-type of contractive condition weighted by point-to-point-
self-dependent continuous functions are investigated On the other hand, some extensions of Krasnoselskii-type theorems and general rational contractive conditions to cyclic self-mappings have recently been given in [28, 29] while the study of stability through fixed point theory of Caputo linear fractional systems has been provided in [30] Finally, promising results are being obtained concerning fixed point theory for multivalued maps
(see, for instance [31–33])
This manuscript is devoted to the investigation of several modifications of rational type
of the φ-contractive condition of [21, 22] for a class of 2-cyclic self-mappings on empty convex and closed subsets A , B⊂X The contractive modification is of rational type and includes the nondecreasing function associated with the ϕ-contractions The existence and uniqueness of two best proximity points, one in each of the subsets
non-points coincide with the unique fixed point in the intersection of both the sets

Note that (2.1) is, in particular, a so-called 2-cyclic ϕ -contraction if α = 0 and( ) (t α)t
ϕ = 1 − for some real constant α ∈[0 ,1) since ϕ :R0+ →R0+ is strictly increasing [1]
We refer to “modified weak ϕ -contraction” for (2.1) in the particular case α ≥ 0,β ≥ 0,

Proof guideline: It is identical to that of Theorem 2.2 by using ϕ( )D =D=M0=M = 0 and the fact that from (2.17) α0= α and β0 = β with 0 ≤ α + β < 1 if there is a pair (x , Tx)∈A×B∪B×A such that d(Tx , x)= ϕ(d(Tx , x) ); d(T2x , Tx)= ϕ(d(T2x , Tx) ); ∀x∈A∪B
Remark 2.5 Note that Lemma 2.2 (ii) for ϕ( )D ≤D (ϕ( )D <D if α + β ≤ α0+ β0≤ 1) leads to
an identical result as Lemma 2.1 (i) for ϕ( )D =D and α + β < 1 consisting in proving that
D≤ ϕ since d(T2x , Tx)≥D and d(T x , x)≥D; ∀x∈A∪B On the other hand, note from

since, otherwise, a contradiction to (2.24) holds Since ϕ :R0+→R0+ is non-decreasing and has a finite limit ϕ ≥ ϕ( )x ≥ 0; ∀x∈R0+ (ϕ = 0 if and only if ϕ :R0+ →R0+ is identically zero), thus ϕ ≥ ϕ( )D ≥ 0 Then, (2.22)–(2.23) hold and Property (i) has been proven On the other hand, one gets from (2.25), since ϕ :R0+ →R0+ is sub-additive and nondecreasing and has a finite limit, that:

This section considers the contractive conditions (2.1) and (2.21) for the case A ∩ B= ∅ For such a case, Lemmas 2.1, 2.3, and 2.8 still hold However, Theorems 2.2, 2.4, and 2.9
do not further hold since fixed points in A∩B cannot exist Thus, the investigation is centred in the existence of best proximity points It has been proven in [1] that if

via Lemma 2.1 as follows for the case when A and B do not intersect, in general:

min and α + β < 1 with ϕ :R0+→R0+ being nondecreasing with ϕ( )D =D Assume also that A and B are non-empty closed and convex subsets of a uniformly convex Banach space (X, ) Then, there exist two unique best proximity points z∈A, y∈B of

T converge to z and y for all x∈A , respectively, to y and z for
all x∈B If A ∩ B≠ ∅ then z= y∈A∩B is the unique fixed point of T:A∪B→A∪B
Proof: If D= 0, i.e., A and B intersect then this result reduces to Theorem 2.2 with the
best proximity points being coincident and equal to the unique fixed point Consider the
case that A and B do not intersect, that is, D> 0 and take x∈A∪B Assume with no loss
in generality that x∈A It follows, since A and B are non-empty and closed, A is convex
