Abstract: We establish a system of PDE, called open WDVV, that constrains the bulk-deformed superpotential and associated open Gromov-Witten invariants of a Lagrangian submanifold

L s u b s e t X

with a bounding chain. Simultaneously, we define the quantum cohomology algebra of

X

relative to

L

and prove its associativity. We also define the relative quantum connection and prove it is flat. A wall-crossing formula is derived that allows the interchange of point-like boundary constraints and certain interior constraints in open Gromov-Witten invariants. Another result is a vanishing theorem for open Gromov-Witten invariants of homologically non-trivial Lagrangians with more than one point-like boundary constraint. In this case, the open Gromov-Witten invariants with one point-like boundary constraint are shown to recover certain closed invariants. From open WDVV and the wall-crossing formula, a system of recursive relations is derived that entirely determines the open Gromov-Witten invariants of

(X, L) = (m a t h b b C P^{n}, m a t h b b R P^{n})

with

n

odd, defined in previous work of the authors. Thus, we obtain explicit formulas for enumerative invariants defined using the Fukaya-Oh-Ohta-Ono theory of bounding chains.
