Investigation finds no phase transition in opinion dynamics on directed networks, indicating unique behavior.
The phase transition in the Biswas–Chatterjee–Sen model on directed Barabási–Albert networks has been investigated by means of extensive Monte Carlo simulations with four and fifty neighbors. The relaxation time of the average opinion state of the network and its fourth-order Binder cumulant have been analyzed for several different network sizes. Contrary to what happens on regular lattices, the present results do not show any presence of critical points, or equivalently, an absence of a critical social temperature.
