For $m=1$ we find that the critical point $t_c=1$ which is the maximum possible value of the relative link density $t$; Hence we cannot have access to the other phase like percolation in one dimension. However, for $m>1$ we find that $t_c$ decreases with increasing $m$ and the critical exponents $\\nu, \\alpha, \\beta$ and $\\gamma$ for $m>1$ are found to be independent not only of the value of $m$ but also of PR and SR. It implies that they all belong to the same universality class like EP in the Erd\\\"{o}s-R\\'{e}nyi network. Besides, the critical exponents obey the Rushbrooke inequality in the form $\\alpha+2\\beta+\\gamma=2+\\epsilon$ with $0<\\epsilon<<1$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-07-23T17:35:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "universality class", "barabási-albert networks", "product rule", "study explosive percolation", "sum rule" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
