A relative root Nielsen number

The relative Nielsen number N(f;X,A) was introduced in 1986. It gives us a better, and ideally sharp, lower bound for the minimum number MF[f;X,A] of fixed points in the homotopy class of the map $f;(X,A) \to (X,A)$. Similarly, we also can think about the Nielsen map $f:(X,A) \to (X,A)$. Similarly, we also can be think about the Nielsen root theory. In this paper, we introduce a relative root Nielsen number N(f;X,A,c) of $f:(X,A) \to (Y,B)$ and show some basic properties.
