We construct an epsilon coincidence theory which generalizes, in some aspect, the epsilon fixed point theory proposed by Robert Brown in 2006. Given two maps f, g: X → Y from a well-behaved topological space into a metric space, we define µ ∈(f, g) to be the minimum number of coincidence points of any maps f 1 and g 1 such that f 1 is ∈ 1-homotopic to f, g 1 is ∈ 2-homotopic to g and ∈ 1 + ∈ 2 < ∈. We prove that if Y is a closed Riemannian manifold, then it is possible to attain µ ∈(f, g) moving only one rather than both of the maps. In particular, if X = Y is a closed Riemannian manifold and idY is its identity map, then µ ∈(f, idY) is equal to the ∈-minimum fixed point number of f defined by Brown. If X and Y are orientable closed Riemannian manifolds of the same dimension, we define an ∈-Nielsen coincidence number N ∈(f, g) as a lower bound for µ ∈(f, g). Our constructions and main results lead to an epsilon root theory and we prove a Minimum Theorem in this special approach.
