A Linear-Time Approximation Scheme for the Densest Subgraph Problem
This paper provides the first truly linear-time approximation scheme for the Densest Subgraph Problem, and uses assignments arising from a flow-based formulation together with a structural carving lemma to progressively carve "sparse" parts of the graph while nearly preserving the densest subgraph.
