A subgraph H of a 3-connected finite graph G is called contractible if H is connected and G&V(H) is 2-connected. This work is concerned with a conjecture of McCuaig and Ota which states that for any given k there exists an f (k) such that any 3-connected graph on at least f (k) vertices possesses a

An edge e in a 3-connected graph G is contractible if the contraction G/e is still 3-connected. The problem of bounding the number of contractible edges in a 3-connected graph has been studied by numerous authors. In this paper, the corresponding problem for matroids is considered and new graph res

## Abstract For a graph __G__ we define a graph __T__(__G__) whose vertices are the triangles in __G__ and two vertices of __T__(__G__) are adjacent if their corresponding triangles in __G__ share an edge. Kawarabayashi showed that if __G__ is a __k__‐connected graph and __T__(__G__) contains no ed

We show that if G is a 3-connected graph of order at least seven, then every longest path between distinct vertices in G contains at least two contractible edges. An immediate corollary is that longest cycles in such graphs contain at least three contractible edges. We consider only finite undirect
