Abstract

In a recent work [R. Shojaei et al, Physical Review E 100, 022303 (2019)] the Authors calculate numerically the critical temperature TcT_c of the balanced-imbalanced phase transition in a fully connected graph. According to their findings, TcT_c decreases with the number of nodes NN. Here we calculate the same critical temperature using the heat-bath algorithm. We show that TcT_c increases with NN as NγN^{\gamma}, with γ\gamma close to 0.5 or 1.0. This value depends on the initial fraction of positive bonds.
