Projective bundle formula for Heller' relative K_0

In this article, we study the Heller relative $K_{0}$ group of the map $\mathbb{P}_{X}^{r} \to \mathbb{P}_{S}^{r},$ where $X$ and $S$ are quasi-projective schemes over a commutative ring. More precisely, we prove that the projective bundle formula holds for Heller's relative $K_{0},$ provided $X$ is flat over $S.$ As a corollary, we get a description of the relative group $K_{0}(\mathbb{P}_{X}^{r} \to \mathbb{P}_{S}^{r})$ in terms of generators and relations, provided $X$ is affine and flat over $S.$
