Fast Low Rank Approximation of a Sylvester Matrix by Structured Total Least Norm

Abstract

The problem of approximating the greatest common divisor(GCD) for polynomials with inexact coefficients can be formulated as a low rank approximation problem with a Sylvester matrix. In this paper, we present an algorithm based on fast Structured Total Least Norm(STLN) for constructing a Sylvester matrix of given lower rank and obtaining the nearest perturbed polynomials with exact GCD of given degree.
