Abstract
In this paper, we introduce Suzuki-type generalized and modified proximal contractive mappings. We establish some coincidence and best proximity point results in fairly complete spaces. Also, we provide coincidence and best proximity point results in partially ordered complete metric spaces for Suzuki-type generalized and modified proximal contractive mappings. Furthermore, some examples are presented in each section to elaborate and explain the usability of the obtained results. As an application, we obtain fixed-point results in metric spaces and in partially ordered metric spaces. The results obtained in this article further extend, modify and generalize the various results in the literature.
1. Introduction and Preliminaries
S. Banach [1] stated and proved the Banach contraction principle. This principle has wide applications due to its simple and constructive nature of proof. The constructive proof leads to developing algorithms and can be easily applied in computer and data sciences (see in [2]) as well. The application of this principle is not limited to these areas, it is extensively used in dynamically programming ([3]) and biosciences as well. Due to wide range of applications, researchers around the globe are attracted towards this principle to generalize, modify and extend this pioneer result (for detail, see [4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12]). These modifications are consisting upon three pillars (1) generalizing the contractive conditions, (2) generalizing the underlying space and (3) modifying the single valued mapping with multivalued mapping. In all the three modifications, the Banach contraction principle gets modification with three different aspects.
The “fixed point” of a self-mapping M is actually a solution of an operator equation (i.e., ). Among these three aspects of generalization of “Banach contraction principle”, it would be quite interesting to discuss, if the operator equation has no solution. In this case, when then it is evident to minimize the distance between and which leads to the following optimization problem:
Now, if M is non-self-mapping, so we cannot find the “fixed point” of M, in this case we can optimize the distance between and but in the case of non-self-mapping such that if then we cannot reduce the to zero but it can minimize up to (the distance between set and set Any point is called a “best proximity point” of mapping M, if it satisfies Please note that if is nonempty then any “best proximity point” of the mapping M becomes a “fixed point” of the mapping M.
An element is said to be a “coincidence best proximity point” of the pair of mappings , if satisfy , where and . If then “coincidence best proximity point” becomes a “best proximity point” of mapping
One of the interesting generalizations of the “Banach contraction principle” was given by V. Berinde ([13]) and proved the following result.
Theorem 1.
([13]) Let be a complete metric space and mapping satisfies
for all where and then the mapping M has a “fixed point”.
T. Suzuki ([14]) introduced “Suzuki contraction”, which generalized the “Banach contraction” and he proved the following “fixed-point theorem”.
Theorem 2.
([14]) Let be a complete metric space and mapping satisfies
for all then mapping M has a unique fixed point in Y.
In 2014, M. Gabeleh ([15]) revised and generalized the contractions presented in Theorem 1 and in Theorem 2 to prove the single valued and multivalued “best proximity point results”. Recently S. Basha ([16]) introduced the concept of “fairly and proximally complete spaces” and proved “best proximity point results” in these spaces.
In this paper, we will modify Suzuki-type “best proximity point results” of M. Gabeleh ([15]) and prove Suzuki-type “coincidence best proximity point results” in the setting of “fairly complete space” and “partially ordered fairly complete space".
We will use the following notations in the entire article and assume that and are nonempty subsets of a metric space , further
Raj introduced the property in ([17]), which is defined as:

In 2012, Samet et al. ([18]) introduced contractive and admissible mappings and established some fixed-point theorems for such mappings in complete metric spaces. Samet et al. ([18]) defined the notion of admissible mapping as follows.
Definition 5.
A mapping is said to be admissible if there exists such that
for all
The concept of admissible mapping was generalized and extended in many directions. Jleli et al. ([19]) introduced proximal admissible mapping as follows.
Definition 6.
Let and be the nonempty subsets of metric space . A mapping is said to be proximal admissible if there exists such that

for where
2. Main Results
To obtain the main results, we need to define the Suzuki-type generalized proximal and Suzuki-type generalized proximal contractions as follows:
Definition 8.
1. A pair where and is Suzuki-type generalized proximal contractive condition if such that and
2. A mapping is Suzuki-type generalized proximal contractive condition if such that and
where and for all
The constants and satisfies the condition C, if and such that .
In the first result we will prove that the pair which satisfies the Suzuki-type generalized proximal contraction has a coincidence best proximity point in the frame work of fairly complete spaces.
Theorem 3.
Let and be nonempty closed subsets of a complete metric space such that the pair is a fairly complete space and satisfy the property. Consider a pair satisfying Suzuki-type generalized proximal contractive condition with where mapping satisfy the property and mapping M is an proximal admissible. Furthermore, suppose that there exist some such that
Then the pair possesses a coincidence best proximity point.
Proof.
Let such that and As there exists an element such that As M is an proximal admissible, it follows that . Since satisfy the property therefore imply . Since there exists an element such that
as M is an proximal admissible, it follows that . Also possesses the property therefore implies . Continuing the same reasoning we get a sequence in such that
with Since mapping satisfies the property we have . We know that if and then and Now consider the case when then from Equation (2), we have which proves the theorem. Now if for all then we have
and so, the above inequality can be written as
Since and the pair satisfies Suzuki-type generalized proximal contraction which implies that
above inequality becomes
Since the pair satisfy the property, using the property the above inequality can be written as
which shows that Continuing on the same lines for we can verify the following
and so the above inequality can be written as
Since and the pair satisfies Suzuki-type generalized proximal contraction which implies that
which can be written as
The pair satisfy the property, using inequality (3) and the property in above inequality, we obtain
thus, for a sequence in we have
Therefore
which leads to be a Cauchy sequence in and is a pair of nonempty closed subsets of a complete metric space and so converges to some point In the same way, the sequence is convergent to some point . So, we have
Using triangular inequality, we can write
If then we have
By Equations (4) and (6) we have
If then the inequality (5) implies
using inequality (4), the inequality (7) becomes
Thus, is a cyclically Cauchy sequence. Since there exists such that
for all Since and we can write
Since and the pair satisfies Suzuki-type generalized proximal contraction which implies that
above inequality can be written as
We can write
using inequalities (4) and (9), inequality (10) becomes
after simplification above inequality can be written as
From triangular inequality we have
Using inequality (11), inequality (12) becomes
after simplification we have
Since and furthermore the pair satisfy Suzuki-type generalized proximal contraction which implies that
further we have
since In above relation if then we conclude that that is, and we have
Therefore, p is a coincidence best proximity point of the pair . □
The subsequent example corroborates the result proved in Theorem 3.
Example 1.
Let be a metric space with Euclidean metric . Suppose and are nonempty subsets of After simple calculation, we obtain and the pair satisfy the property, also and Now define a mapping as:
clearly and mapping as:
which satisfies . Now we must show that the pair satisfies Suzuki-type generalized proximal contraction.
Case 1. If then following condition of Suzuki-type generalized proximal contractive condition holds for all for and
Now, we must show that the second condition of Suzuki-type generalized proximal contraction holds for all
Define as After calculation we have
and
inequality (14) holds.
Case 2. The inequality (13) holds for all and
for and we have
when and we have
inequality (14) holds.
Case 3. If and then inequality (13) holds and after simple calculation we have
and
inequality (14) holds. If we choose and then the inequality (13) does not holds. This shows that the pair satisfy Suzuki-type generalized proximal contractive condition; further remaining conditions of Theorem 3 holds, therefore the pair has two coincidence best proximity points and . Please note that in this example the contractive condition of Theorem 3.1 of M. Gabeleh ([15]) does not hold. Indeed, and we have
M. Gabeleh in ([15]) proved the best proximity point results but did not discussed the uniqueness of the best proximity point results. In this paper, we will need an additional condition C (2) to prove the uniqueness of coincidence best proximity point results for Suzuki-type generalized proximal contractions.
Theorem 4.
Let and be nonempty closed subsets of a complete metric space such that the pair is a fairly complete space and satisfies the property. Consider a pair satisfying Suzuki-type generalized proximal contractive condition with where is a one-to-one mapping and satisfies the property. Mapping M is an proximal admissible further suppose that there exist some such that
If the constants β and γ satisfy the condition C (2) then the pair possesses a unique coincidence best proximity point.
Proof.
Following arguments similar to those in the proof of Theorem 3, we get the existence of the coincidence best proximity point of the pair of mappings Now, we must prove the uniqueness of coincidence best proximity point of the pair of mappings . On contrary suppose that are two coincidence best proximity points of the pair of mappings with that is
the pair possesses the property and is a one-to-one mapping, we can write
Since and we have
As and the pair satisfies Suzuki-type generalized proximal contraction which implies that
from above inequality it can be written as
and by using Equation (15) the above inequality becomes
After simple calculation we have which is a contradiction. Hence, and the pair possesses a unique coincidence best proximity point. □
Let us visualize Theorem 4 with the example which follows.
Example 2.
Let be a metric space with Euclidean metric Suppose that and are nonempty subsets of After calculation we can see that and the pair satisfies the property. Define mappings as:
clearly and is an one-to-one mapping. Pair satisfy the Suzuki-type generalized proximal contraction for , such that and for function defined as Hence all the conditions of Theorem 4 hold and is a unique coincidence best proximity point of the pair of mappings
The coincidence best proximity point results discussed below can be obtained directly from Theorem 3.
Corollary 1.
Let and be nonempty closed subsets of a complete metric space such that the pair is a fairly complete space and satisfies the property. Consider and satisfy the following, if
with where mapping satisfies the property and M is an proximal admissible mapping. Furthermore, suppose that there exists some such that

Consider the mapping M satisfy the Suzuki-type generalized proximal contractive condition with and M is an proximal admissible mapping. Furthermore, suppose that there exist some such that
Then the mapping M has a best proximity point.
Proof.
If we take in Theorem 3 then Suzuki-type generalized proximal mapping becomes Suzuki-type generalized proximal mapping, remaining aspects of Theorem 5 are same as in the proof of Theorem 3. Hence we have a best proximity point of mapping □
Corollary 3.

Consider the mapping M satisfies the Suzuki-type generalized proximal contractive condition with and M is an proximal admissible mapping. Suppose that there exist some such that
Furthermore, if the constants γ satisfy the condition C (2) then unique best proximity point of mapping M exists.
The following example will illustrate the result presented in Corollary 3.
Example 3.

The following results are the nice consequences of Theorem 5.
Corollary 4.

Corollary 5.
If we add the condition (2) to the statement of Corollary 4 we obtain that the mapping M possesses a unique best proximity point.

4. Some Results Related to Partially Ordered Metric Space
Here, we are concerned with coincidence best proximity point results for generalized and modified Suzuki-type contractions in partially ordered metric space.
From now and onward defines:
Definition 10.
([22]) Suppose Y be a nonempty set, a triplet is called a partially ordered metric space if it satisfies the following conditions:
- is metric on
- ⪯ is partial order on Y.
Definition 11.
[22] A mapping is proximally order-preserving, if
for all and
Definition 12.
A pair where and is an:
- Ordered Suzuki-type generalized proximal contraction if
- Ordered Suzuki-type modified proximal contraction iffor all and such that
Theorem 8.

Mapping satisfies the property and M is proximally order-preserving. Also, the pair possesses the property. Further let the existence of some such that

Theorem 9.
Let and are the same sets as in Theorem 8. Suppose that the pair where and satisfies an ordered Suzuki-type modified proximal contractive condition with all assumptions of Theorem 8. Then the pair possesses a unique coincidence best proximity point.
5. Application to Fixed-Point Theory
Here, we will discuss some results about the fixed-point theory for generalized and modified Suzuki-type contraction.
If then the following contractive conditions can be define.
Definition 13.
A mapping is called a:
- Suzuki-type generalized contraction if
- Suzuki-type modified contraction ifwhere and we have for all and such that
From Theorems 5 and 7 we can find following new fixed-point results.
Theorem 10.
Suppose that if there exists with then the mapping which satisfy Suzuki-type generalized contractive condition on a complete metric space has a unique fixed point.
Proof.
If we take in Theorem 5 then proximal Suzuki-type generalized contraction implies Suzuki-type generalized contraction. According to Theorem 5 we can find point which satisfies
However, here we have , so we have and there exists a fixed point of Suzuki-type generalized contraction of mapping M. □
Theorem 11.
Suppose that if there exists with then the mapping which satisfy Suzuki-type modified contractive condition on a complete metric space has unique fixed point.
Proof.
If we take in Theorem 7 then proximal Suzuki-type modified contractive condition implies Suzuki-type modified contractive condition. According to Theorem 7 we can find a point satisfying
but for self-mapping . So, we have and there exists a fixed point of Suzuki-type modified contraction of mapping M. □
Definition 14.
A mapping is called an:
- Ordered Suzuki-type generalized contraction if
- Ordered Suzuki-type modified contraction iffor all where such that
Theorem 12.
If a mapping satisfy an ordered Suzuki-type generalized contractive condition with such that on complete partially ordered metric space then mapping M has unique fixed point.
Proof.
By following the prove of Theorem 8, we can say that for self mapping every ordered Suzuki-type generalized contractive condition implies ordered Suzuki-type generalized contractive condition. The remaining aspects of Theorem 8 fulfilled on the same lines and mapping M possesses a unique fixed point. □
Theorem 13.
If a mapping satisfies an ordered Suzuki-type modified contractive condition with such that on complete partially ordered metric space then mapping M possesses a unique fixed point.
6. Conclusions
In this article, we defined Suzuki-type generalized and modified proximal contractive mappings. Furthermore, some coincidence and best proximity point results are obtained in fairly complete spaces, which generalized the result discussed by M. Gabeleh in ([15]). As an application, we obtained some fixed point and coincidence point results in partially ordered metric spaces for modified and generalized Suzuki-type contractions. Some illustrative examples are also provided to visualize and support to the results obtained herein.
