We present a nearly-linear time algorithm that produces high-quality sparsifiers of weighted graphs. Given as input a weighted graph $G=(V,E,w)$ and a parameter $\epsilon>0$, we produce a weighted subgraph $H=(V,\tilde{E},\tilde{w})$ of $G$…

A \emph{tree cut-sparsifier} $T$ of quality $\alpha$ of a graph $G$ is a single tree that preserves the capacities of all cuts in the graph up to a factor of $\alpha$. A \emph{tree flow-sparsifier} $T$ of quality $\alpha$ guarantees that…
