Abstract

We introduced a new class of multi-valued mappings, called P-KKM mappings, which generalized the notation
of R-KKM maps of Raj and Somasundaram [KKM-type theorem for best proximity points, Applied
Mathematics Letters, 25 (2012), 496-499] and appropriate to best proximity theory. An analog version of
KKM property and a common fixed point theorem is also proved.
