Randomized Approximation Schemes for Cuts and Flows in Capacitated Graphs

We describe random sampling techniques for approximately solving problems that involve cuts and flows in graphs. We give a near-linear-time randomized combinatorial construction that transforms any graph on n vertices into an O(n log n)-edge graph on the same vertices whose cuts have approximately t...
