- The one coming up isn't a sentence.
- At least two terms have been used to describe structures like yours.
- The one [which/that is] coming up is mine.
- I think many native speakers call coming up a reduced clause.
- Outside the Anglo-Saxon world, the term "relative clause equivalent" is often used.

PicnicSo you mean that the first is incorrect? only when is is used, its correct right?Clause equivalents are just as good English as are sentences without them. Both your and my two examples are correct.
