contents We study the orbital stability of action ground-states of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation over two particular cases of metric graphs, the $\mathcal{T}$ and the tadpole graphs. We show the existence of stability transitions near the $L^2$-critical exponent, a new dynamical feature of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. More precisely, as the frequency $λ$ increases, the action ground-state transitions from stable to unstable and then back to stable (or vice-versa). This result is complemented with the stability analysis of ground-states in the asymptotic cases of low/high frequency and weak/strong nonlinear interaction. Finally, we present a numerical simulation of the stability of action ground-states depending on the nonlinearity and the frequency parameter, which validates the aforementioned theoretical results.
