Based on the concepts of ?-proximal admissible mappings and simulation
function, we establish some best proximity point and coupled best proximity
point results in the context of b-complete b-metric spaces. We also provide
some concrete examples to illustrate the obtained results. Moreover, we
prove the existence of the solution of nonlinear integral equation and
positive definite solution of nonlinear matrix equation X = Q + ?m,i=1 A*i?(X)Ai-?m,i=1 B*i(X)Bi. The given results not only unify but also
generalize a number of existing results on the topic in the corresponding
literature.
