We consider the ferromagnetic Ising model on a highly inhomogeneous network created by a growth process. We find that the phase transition in this system is characterised by the Berezinskii--Kosterlitz--Thouless singularity, although critical fluctuations are absent, and the mean-field description is exact. Below this infinite order transition, the magnetization behaves as $exp(-const/\sqrt{T_c-T})$. We show that the critical point separates the phase with the power-law distribution of the linear response to a local field and the phase where this distribution rapidly decreases. We suggest that this phase transition occurs in a wide range of cooperative models with a strong infinite-range inhomogeneity. {\em Note added}.--After this paper had been published, we have learnt that the infinite order phase transition in the effective model we arrived at was discovered by O. Costin, R.D. Costin and C.P. Grunfeld in 1990. This phase transition was considered in the papers: [1] O. Costin, R.D. Costin and C.P. Grunfeld, J. Stat. Phys. 59, 1531 (1990); [2] O. Costin and R.D. Costin, J. Stat. Phys. 64, 193 (1991); [3] M. Bundaru and C.P. Grunfeld, J. Phys. A 32, 875 (1999); [4] S. Romano, Mod. Phys. Lett. B 9, 1447 (1995). We would like to note that Costin, Costin and Grunfeld treated this model as a one-dimensional inhomogeneous system. We have arrived at the same model as a one-replica ansatz for a random growing network where expected to find a phase transition of this sort based on earlier results for random networks (see the text). We have also obtained the distribution of the linear response to a local field, which characterises correlations in this system. We thank O. Costin and S. Romano for indicating these publications of 90s.
