Using the renormalization-group transformation and cumulative expansion technique, the phase transition and critical properties of the S4 model on a special diamond-type hierarchical lattice are studied, and its fixed points and critical exponents are obtained. The results show that there exists a Wilson-Fisher fixed point besides the Gaussian fixed point, and compared with the Gaussian model of the special diamond-type hierarchical lattices, the critical exponents have changed.
