An edge of a 6-connected graph is said to be 6-contractible if the contraction of the edge results in a 6-connected graph. A contraction critically 6-connected graph is a 6-connected graph with no 6-contractible edge. We prove that each contraction critically 6-connected graph G has at least 1 7 |V
It is known that a noncomplete }-connected graph of minimum degree of at least w 5} 4 x contains a }-contractible edge, i.e., an edge whose contraction yields again a }-connected graph. Here we prove the stronger statement that a noncomplete }-connected graph for which the sum of the degrees of any
