It is shown that if a connected graph with n nodes has conductance φ then rumour spreading, also known as randomized broadcast, successfully broadcasts a message within O(log4n/φ6) many steps, with high probability, using the PUSH-PULL strategy.
Abstract
We show that if a connected graph with n nodes has conductance φ then rumour spreading, also known as randomized broadcast, successfully broadcasts a message within O(log4n/φ6) many steps, with high probability, using the PUSH-PULL strategy. An interesting feature of our approach is that it draws a connection between rumour spreading and the spectral sparsification procedure of Spielman and Teng [23].

Cellular traffic offloading through opportunistic communications: a case study

TL;DR: This work investigates the target-set selection problem for information delivery in the emerging Mobile Social Networks (MoSoNets), and proposes three algorithms, called Greedy, Heuristic, and Random, to exploit opportunistic communications to facilitate the information dissemination and thus reduce the amount of cellular traffic.

Spectral sparsification of graphs: theory and algorithms

TL;DR: It is explained what it means for one graph to be a spectral approximation of another and the development of algorithms for spectral sparsification are reviewed, including a faster algorithm for finding approximate maximum flows and minimum cuts in an undirected network.

Tight bounds for rumor spreading in graphs of a given conductance

TL;DR: It is shown that for any n-node graph with conductance, the classical PUSH-PULL algorithm distributes a rumor to all nodes of the graph in O( 1 logn) rounds with high probability (w.h.p.); this bound improves a recent result of Chierichetti, Lattanzi, and Panconesi [6].

Gossip-based computation of aggregate information

TL;DR: This paper analyzes the diffusion speed of uniform gossip in the presence of node and link failures, as well as for flooding-based mechanisms, and shows that this diffusion speed is at the heart of the approximation guarantees for all of the above problems.

Concentration of Measure for the Analysis of Randomized Algorithms

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a coherent and unified treatment of probabilistic techniques for obtaining high probability estimates on the performance of randomized algorithms, from the basic tool kit from the Chernoff-Hoeffding (CH) bounds to more sophisticated techniques like Martingales and isoperimetric inequalities, as well as some recent developments like Talagrand's inequality, transportation cost inequalities, and log-Sobolev inequalities.
