Organisers: Michel Balazard (CNRS, Laboratoire Poncelet) , Michael Tsfasman (CNRS, Laboratoire Poncelet, Institute for Information Transmission Problems) , Alexey Zykin (Laboratoire Poncelet, State University Higher School of Economics) . ... In this talk, we first motivate the study of zeta functions in families. Then we focus on the study of zeta functions in families of global fields and more specifically that of their logarithmic derivatives (joint work with A. Zykin). ...

... ICND-96, Saratov, Russia. ... And though a number of efficient methods of digital sound compression is developed by far, there is still a need in new efficient methods. In this report we study a possibility of application of fractal methods to compression of speech signals. ... In this method, a speech frame is divided into larger pieces called domains, and smaller ones called regions, and an optimal set of affine transformations of domains into regions is calculated. ...

Next: ZGSC (Compressed GSC) and XSKYMAP . ... This is a preliminary report on an investigation of the quality and properties of plates digitized during creation of the Guide Star Catalog (GSC). The results will be vital for reclassifying GSC objects. ... Many objects are measured on more than one plate, and thus have multiple catalog entries. ... Among the shortcomings of the GSC are: biased magnitudes and incorrect classifications for certain objects, presence of artifact objects. ...
