Moreover, we introduce a new contraction so called α-vector proximal contraction mapping. Then, we prove certain best proximity point theorems for such mappings in vector metric spaces (Ω,ρ,E) where (E,≤) is Ω-Dedekind complete Riesz space. Thus, for the first time, we acquire best proximity point results on vector metric spaces. As a result, we generalize some fixed point results proved in both vector metric spaces and partially ordered vector metric spaces such as main results of V4. Further, we provide nontrivial and comparative examples to show the effectiveness of our main results.enBest proximity pointα-admissibleProximal contractionArticle7011301422618-6470
