Relative homology is a concept in algebraic topology that extends the notion of homology groups to pairs of spaces. Specifically, if we have a topological space \( X \) and a subspace \( A \subseteq X \), the relative homology groups \( H_n(X, A) \) provide information about the structure of \( X \) relative to the subspace \( A \).
