In the year 2014, Almeida et al. introduced a new class of mappings, namely, contractions of Geraghty type. Additionally, in the year 2021, Beg et al. introduced the concept of generalized F-proximal contraction of the first kind and generalized F-proximal contraction of the second kind, respectively. After developing these concepts, authors mainly studied the best proximity points for these classes of mappings. In this short note, we prove that the problem of the existence of the best proximity points for the said classes of proximal contractions is equivalent to the corresponding fixed points problems.
