Approximate best proximity pairs in metric space (Q535973)

Summary: Let \(A\) and \(B\) be nonempty subsets of a metric space \(X\) and also \(T:A\cup B\to A\cup B\) and \(T(A)\subseteq B\), \(T(B)\subseteq A\). We consider an element \(x\in A\) such that \(d(x,Tx)\leq d(A,B)+\varepsilon\) for some \(\varepsilon>0\). We call a pair \((A,B)\) an approximate best proximity pair. In this paper, definitions of approximate best proximity pair for a map and two maps, their diameters, \(T\)-minimizing a sequence are given in a metric space.
