In the current paper, we discuss sufficient and necessary conditions for the existence of best proximity points for cyclic f- contractive mappings in the setting of strictly convex Banach spaces. Extensions of Edelstein's theorem are considered as well as an extension of a main result in Park [Park, S. (1978). Fixed points of f-contractive maps. Rocky Mountain J. Math. 8:743–750]. Another existence result of best proximity points will be obtained for asymptotically relatively nonexpansive mappings under different conditions with respect to the recent paper of Rajesh and Veeramani [Rajesh, S., Veeramani, P. (2016). Best Proximity point theorems for asymptotically relatively nonexpansive mappings. Numer. Funct. Anal. Optim. 37:80–91]. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we combine the S-iteration process introduced by Agarwal et al. (J. Nonlinear Convex Anal., 8(1), 61–79 2007) with the proximal point algorithm introduced by Rockafellar (SIAM J. Control Optim., 14, 877–898 1976) to propose a new modified proximal point algorithm based on the S-type iteration process for approximating a common element of the set of solutions of convex minimization problems and the set of fixed points of nearly asymptotically quasi-nonexpansive mappings in the framework of CAT(0) spaces and prove the △-convergence of the proposed algorithm for solving common minimization problem and common fixed point problem. Our result generalizes, extends and unifies the corresponding results of Dhompongsa and Panyanak (Comput. Math. Appl., 56, 2572–2579 2008), Khan and Abbas (Comput. Math. Appl., 61, 109–116 2011), Abbas et al. (Math. Comput. Modelling, 55, 1418–1427 2012) and many more. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
