A. Al-Thagafi and Naseer Shahzad Department of Mathematics King AbdulAziz University . Box 80203 Jeddah 21589 Saudi Arabia Correspondence should be addressed to M. A. Al-Thagafi malthagafi@ Received 12 May 2008 Accepted 16 October 2008 Recommended by Jerzy Jezierski We establish the existence of a best proximity pair for which the best proximity set is nonempty for a finite family of multimaps whose product is either an A -multimap or a multimap T A 2B such that both T and S o T are closed and have the KKM property for each Kakutani multimap S B 2A. As applications we obtain existence theorems of equilibrium pairs for free n-person games as well as for free 1-person games. Our results extend and improve several well-known and recent results.

Introduction Let E E - be a normed space A a nonempty subset of E and T A E a singlevalued map. Whenever the equation T x x has no solution in A it is natural to ask if there exists an approximate solution. Fan 1 provided sufficient conditions for the existence of an approximate solution a e A called a best approximant such that a - T a d T a A inf d T a x x e A where A is compact and convex and T is continuous. However there is no guarantee that such an approximate solution is optimal. For suitable subsets A and B of E and multimap T A 2b Sadiq Basha and Veeramani 2 provided sufficient conditions for the existence of an optimal solution a T a called a best proximity pair such that d a T a d A BJ inf x - y x e A y e B . .
