<description xml:lang='en' descriptionType='Abstract'>By a contraction (compression) we mean a method of reduction of the multiplication table of a quasigroup having n elements to the multiplication table of a quasigroup having n − 1 elements. We describe such method and characterize quasigroups allowing a contraction.</description>
