Best proximity pairs in ultrametric spaces

Abstract

In the present paper, we study the existence of best proximity pairs in ultrametric spaces. We show, under suitable assumptions, that the proximinal pair $(A,B)$ has a best proximity pair. As a consequence we generalize a well known best approximation result and we derive some fixed point theorems. Moreover, we provide examples to illustrate the obtained results.
