Abstract

Nielsen coincidence theory is concerned with the estimation of a lower bound for the number of coincidences of two maps $f,g: X \longrightarrow Y$. For this purpose the so-called Nielsen number N(f,g) is introduced, which is a lower bound for the number of coincidences ([1]). The relative Nielsen number N(f : X,A) in the fixed point theory is introduced in [3], which is a lower bound for the number of fixed points for all maps in the relative homotopy class of f:(X,A) $\longrightarrow$ (X,A), and its estimation is given in [5].
