Best proximity points of discontinuous operator in partially ordered metric spaces.

In this paper we establish best proximity point results for monotone multivalued mappings in partially ordered metric spaces. We consider three notions of monotonicity of multivalued mappings. The main theorem is obtained by utilizing property UC and MT-functions. There is no requirement of continuity on the multivalued function which is illustrated with two supporting examples of the results established in this paper. There are two corollaries. Some existing results are extended to the domain of partially ordered metric spaces through one of the corollaries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
