| Abstract | This paper addresses partial information spreading among n nodes of a network. As opposed to traditional information spreading, where each node has a message that must be received by all nodes, we propose a relaxed requirement, where only n/c nodes need to receive each message, and every node should receive n/c messages, for some c ≥ 1. As a key tool in our study we introduce the novel concept of weak conductance, a generalization of classic graph conductance which allows to analyze the time required for partial information spreading. We show the power of weak conductance as a measure of how well-knit the components of a graph are, by giving an example of a graph family for which the conductance is $O(n-^{2}),$ while the weak conductance is as large as 1/2. For such graphs, weak conductance can be used to show that partial information spreading requires time complexity of O(\logn). Finally, we demonstrate the usefulness of partial information spreading in solving the maximum coverage problem, which naturally arises in circuit layout, job scheduling and facility location, as well as in distributed resource allocation with a global budget constraint. Our algorithm yields a constant approximation factor and a constant deviation from the given budget. For graphs with a constant weak conductance, this implies a scalable time complexity for solving a problem with a global constraint. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
