• The Extended-Row-Equivalence and Shifting (ERES) method is a matrix-based method developed for the computation of the greatest common divisor (GCD) of sets of many polynomials.

  In this paper we present the formulation of the shifting operation as a matrix product which allows us to study the fundamental theoretical and numerical properties of the ERES method by introducing its complete algebraic representation. Then, we analyse in depth its overall numerical stability in finite precision arithmetic. Numerical examples and comparison with other methods are also presented.
