摘要：We investigate the three-state majority-vote model for opinion dynamics on scale-free and regular networks. In this model, an individual selects an opinion equal to the opinion of the majority of its neighbors with probability 1 − q, and different to it with probability q. The parameter q is called the noise parameter of the model. We build a network of interactions where z neighbors are selected by each added site in the system, a preferential attachment network with degree distribution k−λ, where λ = 3 for a large number of nodes N. In this work, z is called the growth parameter. Using finite-size scaling analysis, we obtain that the critical exponents $$\beta /\bar{\nu }$$ and $$\gamma /\bar{\nu }$$ associated with the magnetization and the susceptibility, respectively. Using Monte Carlo simulations, we calculate the critical noise parameter qc as a function of z for the scale-free networks and obtain the phase diagram of the model. We find that the critical exponents add up to unity when using a special volumetric scaling, regardless of the dimension of the network of interactions. We verify this result by obtaining the critical noise and the critical exponents for the two and three-state majority-vote model on cubic lattice networks.
