In recent numerical and analytical studies, Rabbani {it et al.} [Phys. Rev. E {bf 99}, 062302 (2019)] observed the first-order phase transition in social triads dynamics on complete graph with $N=50$ nodes. With Metropolis algorithm they found critical temperature on such graph equal to 26.2. In this comment we extend their main observation in more compact and natural manner. In contrast to the commented paper we estimate critical temperature $T^c$ for complete graph not only with $N=50$ nodes but for any size of the system. We have derived formula for critical temperature $T^c=(N-2)/a^c$, where $N$ is the number of graph nodes and $a^capprox 1.71649$ comes from combination of heat-bath and mean-field approximation. Our computer simulation based on heat-bath algorithm confirm our analytical results and recover critical temperature $T^c$ obtained earlier also for $N=50$ and for systems with other sizes. Additionally, we have identified---not observed in commented paper---phase of the system, where the mean value of links is zero but the system energy is minimal since the network contains only balanced triangles with all positive links or with two negative links. Such a phase corresponds to dividing the set of agents into two coexisting hostile groups and it exists only in low temperatures.

In a recent work [R. Shojaei et al, Physical Review E 100, 022303 (2019)] the Authors calculate numerically the critical temperature $T_c$ of the balanced-imbalanced phase transition in a fully connected graph. According to their findings, $T_c$ decr eases with the number of nodes $N$. Here we calculate the same critical temperature using the heat-bath algorithm. We show that $T_c$ increases with $N$ as $N^{gamma}$, with $gamma$ close to 0.5 or 1.0. This value depends on the initial fraction of positive bonds.
In this work we study the coupled dynamics of social balance and opinion formation. We propose a model where agents form opinions under bounded confidence, but only considering the opinions of their friends. The signs of social ties -friendships and enmities- evolve seeking for social balance, taking into account how similar agents opinions are. We consider both the case where opinions have one and two dimensions. We find that our dynamics produces the segregation of agents into two cliques, with the opinions of agents in one clique differing from those in the other. Depending on the level of bounded confidence, the dynamics can produce either consensus of opinions within each clique or the coexistence of several opinion clusters in a clique. For the uni-dimensional case, the opinions in one clique are all below the opinions in the other clique, hence defining a left clique and a right clique. In the two-dimensional case, our numerical results suggest that the two cliques are separated by a hyperplane in the opinion space. We also show that the phenomenon of unidimensional opinions identified by DeMarzo, Vayanos and Zwiebel (Q J Econ 2003) extends partially to our dynamics. Finally, in the context of politics, we comment about the possible relation of our results to the fragmentation of an ideology and the emergence of new political parties.
Mean-field analysis is an important tool for understanding dynamics on complex networks. However, surprisingly little attention has been paid to the question of whether mean-field predictions are accurate, and this is particularly true for real-world networks with clustering and modular structure. In this paper, we compare mean-field predictions to numerical simulation results for dynamical processes running on 21 real-world networks and demonstrate that the accuracy of the theory depends not only on the mean degree of the networks but also on the mean first-neighbor degree. We show that mean-field theory can give (unexpectedly) accurate results for certain dynamics on disassortative real-world networks even when the mean degree is as low as 4.
When the interactions of agents on a network are assumed to follow the Deffuant opinion dynamics model, the outcomes are known to depend on the structure of the underlying network. This behavior cannot be captured by existing mean-field approximation s for the Deffuant model. In this paper, a generalised mean-field approximation is derived that accounts for the effects of network topology on Deffuant dynamics through the degree distribution or community structure of the network. The accuracy of the approximation is examined by comparison with large-scale Monte Carlo simulations on both synthetic and real-world networks.
We present a detailed investigation of the behavior of the nonlinear q-voter model for opinion dynamics. At the mean-field level we derive analytically, for any value of the number q of agents involved in the elementary update, the phase diagram, the exit probability and the consensus time at the transition point. The mean-field formalism is extended to the case that the interaction pattern is given by generic heterogeneous networks. We finally discuss the case of random regular networks and compare analytical results with simulations.
