Abstract: Let $W$ be a manifold with boundary $M$ given together with a conformal class $$ which restricts to a conformal class $C$ on $M$. Then the relative Yamabe constant $$ is well-defined. We study the short-time behavior of the relative Yamabe constant $$ under the Ricci flow $$ on $W$ with boundary conditions that mean curvature $$ and $$. In particular, we show that if the initial metric $$ is a Yamabe metric, then, under some natural assumptions, $$ and is equal to zero if and only the metric $$ is Einstein.
