Abstract

Using the finite-size scaling, we have investigated the percolation phase transitions of evolving random networks under a generalized Achlioptas process (GAP). During this GAP, the edge with minimum product of two connecting cluster sizes is taken with a probability pp from two randomly chosen edges. This model becomes the Erd\H os-R\'enyi network at p=0.5p=0.5 and the random network under the Achlioptas process at p=1p=1. Using both the fixed point of s2/s1s_2/s_1 and the straight line of lns1\ln s_1, where s1s_1 and s2s_2 are the reduced sizes of the largest and the second largest cluster, we demonstrate that the phase transitions of this model are continuous for 0.5p10.5 \le p \le 1. From the slopes of lns1\ln s_1 and ln(s2/s1)\ln (s_2/s_1)' at the critical point we get the critical exponents β\beta and ν\nu, which depend on pp. Therefore the universality class of this model should be characterized by pp also.
