Say we have a homotopy H_t: X --> Y. Are there conditions that tell us when we can, say, restrict the homotopy to a subset A in X, and we will end up with a new homotopy? I feel like I know how to go the other way around, like if (X,A) is a CW pair and I had a homotopy G_t: A --> Y, then I have the homotopy extension property, etc and can extend it to a homotopy from X --> Y. But what if I'm going the other way? I have a homotopy on the larger space, when can I restrict that homotopy to a subcomplex and still have a homotopy? Are there theorems regarding this?
I would be so appreciative of any insight
