A cut $\varepsilon$-sparsifier of a weighted graph $G$ is a re-weighted subgraph of $G$ of (quasi)linear size that preserves the size of all cuts up to a multiplicative factor of $\varepsilon$. Since their introduction by Bencz\'ur and…

Network sparsification is the task of reducing the number of edges of a given graph while preserving some crucial graph property. In community-aware network sparsification, the preserved property concerns the subgraphs that are induced by…

In this paper, we present a construction of a `matching sparsifier', that is, a sparse subgraph of the given graph that preserves large matchings approximately and is robust to modifications of the graph. We use this matching sparsifier to…
