A note on best proximity point for proximal contraction

Abstract: In the year 2011, S.Basha \cite{BS} introduced the notion of proximal contraction in a metric space $X$ and study the existence and uniqueness of best proximity point for this class of mappings. Also, the author gave an algorithm to achieve this best proximity point. In this paper, we show that the best proximity point theorem can be proved by Banach contraction principle.
