The iterative convex minorant (ICM) algorithm (Groeneboom and Wellner, 1992) is widely believed to be much faster than the EM algorithm (Turnbull, 1976) in computing the NPMLE of the distribution function for interval censored data. Our formulation of the ICM helps to explore its connection with the
We analytically compute the asymptotic Fourier coefficients for several classes of functions to answer two questions. The numerical question is to explain the success of the Weideman-Cloot algorithm for solving differential equations on an infinite interval. Their method combines Fourier expansion w
