Title
Minimum-Support Solutions for Radiotherapy Planning
Abstract
This paper is concerned with nding solutions to the Radiotherapy PlanningProblem (RTPP) that involve the fewest number of gantry angles possible.Such solutions are called minimum{support solutions. To address this issue wewill modify a linear programming model from [8] by introducing a term into theobjective function that penalizes each gantry angle used in the treatment planby some xed cost . The resulting mathematical program has a discontinuousconcave objective function and a...
