Dose-volume-based IMRT fluence optimization: A fast least-squares approach with differentiability
In intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for cancer treatment, the most commonly used metric for treatment prescriptions and evaluations is the so-called dose volume constraint (DVC). These DVCs induce much needed flexibility but also non-convexity into the fluence optimization problem, which is an important step in the IMRT treatment planning. Currently, the models of choice for fluence...
متن کاملA Simulation-based Portfolio Optimization Approach with Least Squares Learning
This paper introduces a simulation-based numerical method for solving dynamic portfolio optimization problem. We describe a recursive numerical approach that is based on the Least Squares Monte Carlo method to calculate the conditional value functions of investors for a sequence of discrete decision dates. The method is data driven rather than restricted to specific asset model, also importantl...
متن کاملA Least Squares Approach to Estimating the Average Reservoir Pressure
Least squares method (LSM) is an accurate and rapid method for solving some analytical and numerical problems. This method can be used to estimate the average reservoir pressure in well test analysis. In fact, it may be employed to estimate parameters such as permeability (k) and pore volume (Vp). Regarding this point, buildup, drawdown, late transient test data, modified Muskat method, interfe...
متن کاملLeast squares splines with free knots: global optimization approach
Splines with free knots have been extensively studied in regard to calculating the optimal knot positions. The dependence of the accuracy of approximation on the knot distribution is highly nonlinear, and optimisation techniques face a difficult problem of multiple local minima. The domain of the problem is a simplex, which adds to the complexity. We have applied a recently developed cutting an...
متن کاملAn Automatic Approach for Satisfying Dose-Volume Constraints in Linear Fluence Map Optimization for IMPT.
Prescriptions for radiation therapy are given in terms of dose-volume constraints (DVCs). Solving the fluence map optimization (FMO) problem while satisfying DVCs often requires a tedious trial-and-error for selecting appropriate dose control parameters on various organs. In this paper, we propose an iterative approach to satisfy DVCs using a multi-objective linear programming (LP) model for so...
