From: Absorbing phase transition in the coupled dynamics of node and link states in random networks

We plot some representative trajectories of the density \({\rho }_{e}(t)\) of unsatisfied links, for the Erdős-Rényi network with \(N=400\). Each color corresponds to a different realization. The relevant parameters for panel (a) are \(p=0.8\) and \(\mu =12\), leading to an active phase where the evolution continues for the whole range of time displayed. In panel (b) we take \(p=0.8\) and \(\mu =6\), leading to a frozen phase with a zero density of unsatisfying links. All trajectories are generated using the Monte Carlo method described in the main text and, in both panels, start out from the same value of the density of white nodes, \({x}_{0}=0.5\), and the density of friendly links, \({\ell }_{0}=0.5\), but correspond to different realizations of the network, initial condition and dynamics.
