On coupled best proximity points and Ulam-Hyers stability (Q2308456)

Let \(A, B\) be nonempty subsets of a Banach space and \(A_0=\{a\in A:\Vert a-b \Vert=\operatorname{dist}(A,B)\) for some \(b\in B\}\) and \(B_0=\{b\in B:\Vert a-b \Vert=\operatorname{dist}(A,B)\) for some \(a\in A\}\). In the present paper, the authors prove, among others, the following: Theorem 2.9. Let \(A, B\) be two nonempty closed bounded and convex subsets of a uniformly convex Banach space \(X\) such that \(A_0\times B_0\) is compact. Let \(S:(A\times B)\cup (B\times A)\rightarrow A\cup B\) be a \(p\)-cyclic nonexpansive mapping. Then \(S\) has a coupled best proximity point. Moreover, the coupled best proximity point problem is Ulam-Hyers stable. Some applications to the existence of a solution of the bi-equilibrium problem in Hilbert spaces are given.
