Optimizing Chemotherapy Scheduling By Iteratively Solving a Recurrence Equation
2008
Algorithmic Operations Research
unpublished
We illustrate how an iterative method and the idea of recurrence can be employed to optimize chemotherapy scheduling. ...
The optimal treatment schedule can be derived directly from the optimal objective function values at different states. We use an iterative method to solve the equation numerically. ...
In section 4, we introduce the iterative method to solve this equation numerically. ...
