Multiplex networks (MNs) have become a platform of recent research in network sciences because networks in many real-world systems interact and function together. One of the main scientific issues in MNs is how the interdependence changes the emerging patterns or phase transitions. Until now, studies of such an issue have concentrated on cluster-breakdown phenomena, aiming to understand the resilience of the system under random failures of edges. These studies have revealed that various phase transition (PT) types emerge in MNs. However, such studies are rather limited to percolation-related problems, i.e., the limit q -> 1 of the q-state Potts model. Thus, a systematic study of opinion formation in social networks with the effect of interdependence between different social communities, which may be seen as the study of the emerging pattern of the Ising model on MNs, is needed. Here we study a well-known spin model called the Ashkin-Teller (AT) model in scale-free networks. The AT model can be regarded as a model for interacting systems between two species of Ising spins placed on respective layers in double-layer networks. Our study shows that, depending on the interlayer coupling strength and a network topology, unconventional PT patterns can also emerge in interaction-based phenomena: continuous, discontinuous, successive, and mixed-order PTs and a continuous PT not satisfying the scaling relation. The origins of such rich PT patterns are elucidated in the framework of Landau-Ginzburg theory.
