Algorithms for Nielsen type periodic numbers of maps with remnant on surfaces with boundary and on bouquets of circles I
In this paper and its sequel we present a method that, under loose restrictions, is algorithmic for calculating the Nielsen type numbers NΦₙ(f) and NPₙ(f) of self maps f of hyperbolic surfaces with boundary and also of bouquets of circles. Because self maps of these surfaces have the same homotopy type as maps on wedges of circles, and the Nielsen periodic numbers are homotopy type invariant, we need concentrate only on the latter spaces. Of course the results will then automatically apply...
