Abstract
For \(x\in A\cup B,\) define \(d_n=d\left( T^nx,T^{n-1}x\right) , n\ge 1\) where A and B are subsets of a metric space and T is a cyclic map on \(A\cup B\). In this paper, we introduce a new class of mappings called cyclic uniform Lipschitzian mappings for which \(\{d_n\}\) is not necessarily a non-increasing sequence and therein prove the existence of a best proximity pair. We also introduce a notion called proximal uniform normal structure and using the same we prove the existence of a best proximity pair for such mappings. Some open problems in this direction are also discussed.
