Abstract:
Berinde introduced almost contraction mappings and proved Banach contraction principle for such mappings. The aim of this paper is to introduce the notion of multivalued almost Θ- contraction mappings and
to prove some best proximity point results for this new class of mappings. As applications, best proximity point and fixed point results for weak single valued Θ-contraction mappings are obtained. Moreover, we give an example to support the results presented herein. An application to a nonlinear differential equation is also provided.
