On the relative slice Thurston-Bennequin inequality
We derive a relative version of the slicing Bennequin inequalities for cobordant Legendrian knots, and review a few proofs of the result.

A Homological Approach to Relative Knot Invariants
We define relative versions of the classical invariants of Legendrian and transverse knots in contact 3-manifolds for knots that are homologous to a fixed reference knot. We show these invariants are well-defined and give some basic properties.

Relative Knot Invariants: Properties and Applications
We state Bennequin inequalities in the relative case, and show that the relative invariants are additive under relative connected sums. We show they exhibit similar limitations as their classical analogues. We study relatively Legendrian simple knots and give some classification results.
