    Abstract

    Link-homotopy and self Delta-equivalence are equivalence relations on links.
    It was shown by J. Milnor (resp. the last author) that Milnor invariants
    determine whether or not a link is link-homotopic (resp. self Delta-equivalent)
    to a trivial link. We study link-homotopy and self Delta-equivalence on a
    certain component of a link with fixing the rest components, in other words,
    homotopy and Delta-equivalence of knots in the complement of a certain link.
