  • Abstract
    Berinde [V. Berinde, Approximating fixed points of weak contractions using the Picard iteration, Nonlinear Anal. Forum 9 (2004), 43-53] 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 andto 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.
