Abstract
Based on mean-field theory (MFT) arguments, a general description for discontinuous phase transitions in the presence of temporal disorder is considered. Our analysis extends the recent findings [C. E. Fiore etal., Phys. Rev. E 98, 032129 (2018)2470-004510.1103/PhysRevE.98.032129] by considering discontinuous phase transitions beyond those with a single absorbing state. The theory is exemplified in one of the simplest (nonequilibrium) order-disorder (discontinuous) phase transitions with "up-down" Z_{2} symmetry: the inertial majority vote model for two kinds of temporal disorder. As for absorbing phase transitions, the temporal disorder does not suppress the occurrence of discontinuous phase transitions, but remarkable differences emerge when compared with the pure (disorderless) case. A comparison between the distinct kinds of temporal disorder is also performed beyond the MFT for random-regular complex topologies. Our work paves the way for the study of a generic discontinuous phase transition under the influence of an arbitrary kind of temporal disorder.
