For every ε>0 there is δ>0 such that a graph satisfying e(A,B)≥p∣A∣∣B∣ whenever ∣A∣,∣B∣≥δn, with p≥δ, has a spanning subgraph G′ satisfying
∣eG′​(A,B)−p∣A∣∣B∣∣≤εn2
(1)
for all disjoint A,B. Partition into a fixed large number of nearly equal parts, independently thin each cross-pair to expected density p, and apply a concentration inequality and a union bound over all pairs A,B.
