## Abstract It is shown that with one small exception, the 3βconnected graphs admitting longest cycles that contain less than four contractible edges of the parent graph are the members of three closely related infinite families. Β© 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
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
