We introduce two new invariants of a Noetherian (standard graded) local ring (R, \mathfrak m) that measure the number of generators of certain kinds of reductions of \mathfrak m, and we study their properties. Explicitly, we consider the minimum among the number of generators of ideals I such that either I2 = \mathfrak m2 or I ⊇ \mathfrak m2 holds. We investigate subsequently the case that R is the quotient of a polynomial ring k[x1, …, xn] by an ideal I generated by homogeneous quadratic forms, and we compute these invariants. We devote specific attention to the case that R is the quotient of a polynomial ring k[x1, …, xn] by the edge ideal of a finite simple graph G.
