In this paper, we introduce generalized multivalued $F-$proximal contraction mappings within the partial metric spaces framework and establish best proximity point results for such mappings. The best proximity point theorem for multivalued $F-$proximal contraction mappings involving $\alpha-$admissibility is also obtained. Several related results in the literature are unified and generalized by our new best proximity point results. We also provide nontrivial examples to support our findings. Finally, we derive an existence of a solution to an integral equation that validates our finding.

$(\tau_1,\tau_2)$-star-Lindelöfness ensures that for every pair $(\mathcal U_1 \subseteq \tau_1,\mathcal U_2 \subseteq \tau_2)$ of open covers, a countable subcover of $\mathcal U_1$, can spread through $\mathcal U_2 $ via the star operation to cover the entire bitopological space $(X,\tau_1,\tau_2)$. Giving a positive answers to the questions of Choudhury et. al. [12], DCCC and meta-Lindelöf like characterization of star-Lindelöf bitopological spaces are presented in this paper. It has been established that a JDCCC bitopological space is both $(\tau_1,\tau_2)$-2-star-Lindelöf and $(\tau_2,\tau_1)$-2-star-Lindelöf. And if a bitopological space which is both $(\tau_1,\tau_2)$-$n$-star-Lindelöf ($n \in \mathbb N$) and $(\tau_1,\tau_2)$-meta-Lindelöf, then $(X, \tau_2)$ is $(n-1)$-star Lindelöf ($0$-star-Lindelöfness represents Lindelöfness).

In this paper, a new class of $H$-monotone in Banach spaces is considered and studied. The resolvent operator and Cayley approximation operator associated with the $H$-monotone are defined, and the Lipschitz continuity of Cayley approximation operator is also established. An application involves the solvability of a class of generalized Cayley inclusions with $H$-monotone in Banach spaces. By utilizing the technique of resolvent, an iterative algorithm is developed for solving such a class of generalized Cayley inclusions in Banach spaces. The convergence of the iterative sequence generated by the algorithm is proven under certain suitable conditions. The results are justified by means of a numerical example analytically and graphically using Python(matplotlib).

We show the existence of solutions satisfying Cauchy or terminal boundary conditions for first order differential inclusion $(\phi(x(t)))'\in F(t,x(t))$. We consider the second order problem $(\phi(x'(t)))'\in F(t,x(t))$ with many boundary conditions. The set-valued map $F$ has non-convex values and the function $\phi$ satisfies a weak condition. The resolution method use the topological degree without the method of upper and lower solutions.
