contents We investigate the dynamical stability and phase transition behavior in a holographic superfluid model incorporating higher-order self-interaction terms $λ|ψ|^4$, $τ|ψ|^6$, and a non-minimal coupling $h(ψ)=e^{α|ψ|^2}$. Thermodynamic and dynamical stability analyzes show that the thermodynamic stability and dynamical stability of the system are consistent. Phase diagram analysis reveals rich critical and supercritical phenomena. For fixed $λ<0$ and $α$, increasing $τ$ shrinks the first-order phase transition region to a critical point and then enters the supercritical region. When varying $α$, the system can exhibit no critical point and, most notably, a double critical phenomenon in which, as $α$ increases, the system first enters the supercritical region and then re-enters the first-order phase transition region. This double critical phenomenon driven by a single parameter is reported for the first time in holographic superfluid models, revealing a complex nonmonotonic coupling effect between the non-minimal coupling and higher-order interaction terms.
