contents Let $G$ be a $3$-connected graph. A set $W \subset V(G)$ is called contractible if $G(W)$ is a connected graph and $G - W$ is a $2$-connected graph. In 1994, McCuaig and Ota conjectured that for any $k \in \mathbb{N}$ there exists $n \in \mathbb{N}$ such that any 3-connected graph $G$ with $v(G) \geqslant n$ has a $k$-vertex contractible set. It is proved that this holds if $k \geqslant 5$ and $δ(G) \geqslant \left[ \frac{2k + 1}{3} \right] + 2$.

Let $G$ be a $3$-connected graph. A set $W \subset V(G)$ is called contractible if $G(W)$ is a connected graph and $G - W$ is a $2$-connected graph. In 1994, McCuaig and Ota conjectured that for any $k \in \mathbb{N}$ there exists $n \in \mathbb{N}$ such that any 3-connected graph $G$ with $v(G) \geqslant n$ has a $k$-vertex contractible set. It is proved that this holds if $k \geqslant 5$ and $δ(G) \geqslant \left[ \frac{2k + 1}{3} \right] + 2$.
