(Received on: May 13, 2013) ABSTRACT In this paper, we first introduce the new notion of rational cyclic contraction and then establish some convergence theorems of best proximity points for two non-self mappings in the frame work of complete metric space. Our results generalized and improve some main results in the literature. An example is given to support our main results. Keywords: Cyclic contraction, best proximity point, rational cyclic contraction, and complete metric space. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 41A65, 46B20, 47H10.

1. INTRODUCTION Fixed point theory plays an important role in furnishing a uniform treatment to solve various equations of the form Tx = x for self-mappings T defined on subsets of metric spaces. Given two nonempty subsets A and B of a metric space, consider a non-self-mapping T from A to B. Because T is not a self-mapping, the equation Tx = x is unlikely to have a solution. Therefore, it is of primary importance to seek an element x that in some

sense is closest to Tx. That is, when the equation Tx = x has no solution, one tries to determine an approximate solution x subject to the condition that the distance between x and Tx is minimal. Best approximation theorems and best proximity point theorems are relevant in this perspective. W. A. Kirk et al.7 established the first result in this interesting area. Then after, many authors obtained many results in this area1,2,3,5,8, 10, 11. Recently, Karapinar and Erhan6 studied some proximity points by using different types cyclic contraction.
