The contractibility number (also known as the Hadwiger number) of a connected graph G, Z(G), is defined as the maximum order of a connected graph onto which G is contractible. An elementary proof is given of a theorem of Ore about this invariant. Also, the extremal problem of finding the maximum Z(G) over all graphs G of a given order and regularity degree is solved.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/22731/1/0000286.pd
