A global optimality result using geraghty type contraction
In this paper we prove two proximity point results for finding the distance between two sets. Unlike the best approximation theorems they provide with globally optimal values. Here our approach is to reduce the problem to that of finding optimal approximate solutions of some fixed point equations. We use Geraghty type contractive inequalities in our theorem. Two illustrative examples are given
