Two problems related to complex network systems are explained in this paper. These two main problems are: consensus and network synchronization. Both have been studied separately in previous years but only a few people have studied these two problems together as one. Our intention in this article is to show how these two problems might ‘work’ together by simulating a network system with routers and agents, we will try to show how agents must negotiate and communicate in order to achieve their aim.

OF THESIS EFFECT OF MANAGEMENT DECISIONS ON CORN YIELD PRODUCTIVITY AND STABILITY IN ENVIRONMENTS WITH CONTRASTING WATER AVAILABILITY Corn (Zea Mays L.) is a grain crop with large productivity, but also elevated evapotranspiration demand, making it highly susceptible to periods of water stress occurring during critical reproductive stages. Environmental conditions in Kentucky make it possible to grow corn under rainfed conditions, but the crop is still likely to experience water stress during some times of the growing season depending on the year and location. There is limited information on the size of the yield gap due to water stress in Kentucky, and the timing and intensity of water deficit. In addition, evaluating the interactive effects of hybrid maturity and planting Population may allow management recommendations that increase corn yield productivity and stability for irrigated and rainfed conditions in Kentucky. This thesis is structured in three chapters that analyze diffe...
