We present a reduction theorem for the class of all finite 3-connected graphs which does not make use of the traditional contraction of certain connected subgraphs. ## 1998 Academic Press Contractible edges play an important role in the theory of 3-connected graphs. Besides the famous wheel theore
It is proved that if G is a k-connected graph which does not contain K - 4 , then G has an edge e or a triangle T such that the graph obtained from G by connecting e or by contracting T is still k-connected. By using this theorem, we prove some theorems which are generalizations of earlier work. In
