An exponentially convergent numerical method for solving a differential equation with a right-hand fractional Riemann-Liouville time-derivative and an unbounded operator coefficient in Banach space is proposed and analysed for a homogeneous/inhomogeneous equation of the Hardy-Tichmarsh type. We employ a solution representation by the Danford-Cauchy integral on hyperbola that envelopes spectrum of the operator coefficient with a subsequent application of an exponentially convergent quadrature. To do that, parameters of the hyperbola are chosen so that the integration function has an analytical extension into a strip around the real axis and then apply the Sinc-quadrature. We show the exponential accuracy and illustrate the results by a numerical example confirming the {\it a priori} estimate. Existence conditions for the solution of the inhomogeneous equation are established.

We make use of individual (epoch) detection data from the Pan-STARRS 3Pi survey for 2863 optical ICRF3 counterparts in the five wavelength bands g, r, i, z, and y, published as part of the Data Release 2. A dedicated method based on the Functional Principal Component Analysis is developed for these sparse and irregularly sampled data. With certain regularization and normalization constraints, it allows us to obtain uniform and compatible estimates of the variability amplitudes and average magnitudes between the passbands and objects. We find that the starting assumption of affinity of the light curves for a given object at different wavelengths is violated for several percent of the sample. The distributions of root-mean-square variability amplitudes are strongly skewed toward small values, peaking at ~0.1 mag with tails stretching to 2 mag. Statistically, the lowest variability is found for the r band and the largest for the reddest y band. A small "brighter-redder" effect is present, with amplitudes in y greater than amplitudes in g in 57% of the sample. The variability versus redshift dependence shows a strong decline with z toward redshift 3, which we interpret as the time dilation of the dominant time frequencies. The colors of radio-loud ICRF3 quasars are correlated with redshift in a complicated, wavy pattern governed by the emergence of brightest emission lines within the five passbands., Comment: 12 pages, 5 figures, accepted in AJ

The work is devoted to the self-action of laser beams propagating in the isotropic phase of a cholesteric liquid crystal near the transition temperature to the mesophase in a wide range of parameter values characterizing the nonlocality of the nonlinear optical response of the medium, defocusing in the medium, the power of incident laser radiation and diffraction in the liquid crystal. The origin of the primary singularities of both polarization components of radiation in a wide range of parameters of radiation and the medium is investigated for different values of the parameter characterizing the nonlocality of nonlinear optical response in chiral medium. For each of the values, the visibility diagrams of the primary singularities of both polarization components are plotted depending on the parameters of the medium and radiation, and their asymmetry is found., Comment: 7 pages, 3 figures

We consider the boundary value problems (BVPs) for linear secondorder ODEs with a strongly positive operator coefficient in a Banach space. The solutions are given in the form of the infinite series by means of the Cayley transform of the operator, the Meixner type polynomials of the independent variable, the operator Green function and the Fourier series representation for the right-hand side of the equation. The approximate solution of each problem is a partial sum of N (or expressed through N) summands. We prove the weighted error estimates depending on the discretization parameter N, the distance of the independent variable to the boundary points of the interval and some smoothness properties of the input data.

Progress in the creation of large scale, artificial quantum coherent structures demands the investigation of their nonequilibrium dynamics when strong interactions, even between remote parts, are non-perturbative. Analysis of multiparticle quantum correlations in a large system in the presence of decoherence and external driving is especially topical. Still, scaling behaviour of dynamics and related emergent phenomena are not yet well understood. We investigate how the dynamics of a driven system of several quantum elements (e.g., qubits or Rydberg atoms) changes with increasing number of elements. Surprisingly, a two-element system exhibits chaotic behaviours. For larger system sizes a highly stochastic, far from equilibrium, {\em hyperchaotic} regime emerges. Its complexity systematically scales with the size of the system, proportionally to the number of elements. Finally, we demonstrate that these chaotic dynamics can be efficiently controlled by a periodic driving field. The insights provided by our results indicate the possibility of a reduced description for the behaviour of a large quantum system in terms of the transitions between its qualitatively different dynamical regimes, which are controlled by a relatively small number of parameters, and may prove useful in the design, characterization and control of large artificial quantum structures., Comment: 17 pages, 13 figures, 2 tables
