This paper considers the question of the in uence of a coalition of vertices seeking to gain control or majority in local neighborhoods in a general graph Say that a vertex v is controlled by the coalition M if the majority of its neighbors are fromM We ask how many vertices as a function of jM j can M control in this fashion Upper and lower bounds are provided for this problem as well as for c...

Diaphorina citriKuwayama (Hemiptera: Psyllidae) carriesCandidatus liberibacter spp., the putative causal agents of Huanglongbing.
