The asymptotic regularity of the self-mapping T on X and the convergence of Cauchy sequences to a unique fixed point are also discussed if X,d is complete. Subsequently, T,\u00a0S generalized cyclic p-contraction pairs are discussed on a pair of non-empty, in general, disjoint subsets of X. The proposed contraction involves a combination of several distances associated with the T,\u00a0S-pair. Some properties demonstrated are: (a) the asymptotic convergence of the relevant sequences to best proximity points of both sets is proved; (b) the best proximity points are unique if the involved subsets are closed and convex, the metric is norm induced, or the metric space is a uniformly convex Banach space. It can be pointed out that both metric and a metric-like (or dislocated metric) possess the symmetry property since their respective distance values for any given pair of elements of the corresponding space are identical after exchanging the roles of both elements.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym14112247","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,26]],"date-time":"2022-10-26T11:53:51Z","timestamp":1666785231000},"page":"2247","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Generalized Cyclic p-Contractions and p-Contraction Pairs Some Properties of Asymptotic Regularity Best Proximity Points, Fixed Points"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9320-9433","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manuel","family":"De la Sen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"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"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5094-3152","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Asier","family":"Ibeas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Telecommunications and Systems Engineering, Universitat Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona (UAB), 08193 Barcelona, Spain"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"479","article-title":"A new type of contractive mappings in complete metric spaces","volume":"1","author":"Popescu","year":"2008","journal-title":"Bull.
