We have investigated a rock-scissors-paper model with long-range-directed interactions in two dimensions where every site has four outgoing links but a fraction q of the outgoing links to the nearest neighbour sites are rewired to other long-distance sites chosen randomly and the lattice structure is replaced again after a Monte Carlo step. It is found that, with q increasing, the system changes from a three species coexistence self-organizing state to a global oscillation state and then to one of the homogeneous states. However when q exceeds a third threshold value, the system returns to a self-organizing state. When we restrict the maximum number of ingoing links of a site to four, the last self-organizing state disappears, the system stays in the homogeneous state forever after q exceeds the second threshold value. And when we restrict the maximum number of ingoing links of a site to five or six, the system exhibits a transition from the homogeneous state to a global oscillation state again and then to the last self-organizing state with q increasing. The comparison of results on different networks suggests that the sites with zero ingoing links should play a significant role in the emergences of the later self-organizing state and the subsequent global oscillation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
