The abnormal phase order of coupled logistic maps, i.e., the ratio of two sequential “up phases" in the total iterations, can be characterized by the direction phase (Phys. Rev. Lett., 84 (2000) 2610). We here consider the case of coupled logistic maps on complex networks and study how the network topology influences the abnormal phase order. Our numerical simulations reveal that the critical point for the appearance of abnormal phase order increases with the coupling strength but decreases with the degree of heterogeneity of complex networks. Moreover, we find that unlike in the case of normal phase order, it is possible for the system to show a periodic window in the case of abnormal phase order, but only within an appropriate range of coupling strengths, and finally, that the heterogeneity can reduce the maximum number of the phase clusters in a given periodic window.
