Abstract
We generalise Nielsen theory to coincidences of pairs where is -valued multimap and is a single-valued map, for and closed oriented triangulable manifolds of equal dimension. We prove a Wecken theorem in this setting, and formulas for the Nielsen, Lefschetz and Reidemeister numbers in terms of the analogous invariants for single-valued maps. If and are orientable infra-nilmanifolds, we derive explicit formulas in terms of the fundamental group morphisms of and .
