“…Several algorithms for the computation of an approximate polynomial gcd can be found in the literature; they rely on different techniques, such as the Euclidean algorithm [1], [2], [12], [17], optimization methods [15], SVD and factorization of resultant matrices [5], [4], [23], Padé approximation [3], [18], root grouping [18]. Some of them have been implemented inside numerical/symbolic packages like the algorithm of Zeng [23] in Matlab TM and the algorithms of Kaltofen [14], of Corless et al [4], of Labahn and Beckermann [13] in Maple TM .…”
