| Abstract | A linked decomposition of a graph with n nodes is a set of subgraphs covering the n nodes such that all pairs of subgraphs intersect; we seek linked decompositions such that all subgraphs have about √n vertices, logarithmic diameter, and each vertex of the graph belongs to either one or two subgraphs. A linked decomposition enables many control and management functions to be implemented locally, such as resource sharing, maintenance of distributed directory structures, deadlock-free routing, failure recovery and load balancing, without requiring any node to maintain information about the state of the network outside the subgraphs to which it belongs. Linked decompositions also enable efficient routing, schemes with small routing tables, which we describe in Section 5. Our main contribution is to show that "Internet-like graphs" (e.g. the preferential attachment model proposed by Barabasi et al. [10] and other similar models) have linked decompositions with the parameters described above with high probability; moreover, our experiments show that the Internet topology itself can be so decomposed. Our proof proceeds by analyzing a novel process, which we call Polya urns with the power of choice, which may be of great independent interest. In this new process, we start with n nonempty bins containing O(n) balls total, and each arriving ball is placed in the least loaded of m bins, drawn independently at random with probability proportional to load. Our analysis shows that in our new process, with high probability the bin loads become roughly balanced some time before $O(n^{2+ε})$ further balls have arrived and stay roughly balanced, regardless of how the initial O(n) balls were distributed, where ε > 0 can be arbitrarily small, provided m is large enough. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
