In particular, such contractions are proven to be asymptotically regular. In addition, if the metric space is complete, then the sequences that they generate are bounded, Cauchy, and convergent to a unique fixed point. Also, cyclic large contractions are an area of focus. It is proven that, if subsets of the cyclic disposal are nonempty closed and they intersect, all the sequences are bounded and Cauchy, and they converge to a unique fixed point located in the intersection of such subsets if the metric space is complete. If the subsets have a pair-wise empty intersection, then the boundedness of such sequences is proven without the need to assume the boundedness of the subsets in the cyclic disposal. The convergence of the sequences to a unique limit cycle of best proximity points, with one per subset in the cyclic disposal, is proven provided that the metric space is complete and that one of such subsets is boundedly compact with a singleton best proximity set. For that property to hold, it is not assumed that the remaining best proximity points are necessarily singletons. It has also been proven that all the subsequences contained within each of the subsets are Cauchy and they converge to a unique best proximity point, even if the corresponding best proximity sets is not a singleton. Furthermore, the hypothesis that one of the best proximity sets between adjacent subsets is a singleton can be weakened for any particular cyclic large contraction. Later on, eventual perturbations of the cyclic large self-mappings in normed spaces are discussed. If the norm of the perturbation additive operator is small enough, it is proven that the perturbed cyclic self-mapping maintains the property of being a cyclic large contraction associated with the unperturbed nominal cyclic large contraction. The maximum upper-bound of the perturbed operator ensures that such a property is given in an explicit manner.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/axioms15010082","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,26]],"date-time":"2026-01-26T16:13:48Z","timestamp":1769444028000},"page":"82","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Cyclic Large Contractions in Metric and Normed Spaces Under Eventual Perturbations"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9320-9433","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manuel","family":"De la Sen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Automatic Control Group\u2013ACG, Institute of Research and Development of Processes, Department of Electricity and Electronics, Faculty of Science and Technology, University of the Basque Country (UPV\/EHU), 48940 Leioa, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Burton, T.A.
