The Radiotherapy treatment planning optimization process based on a quasi-Newton algorithm with an object function containing dose-volume constraints is not guaranteed to converge when the dose value in the dose-volume constraint is a critical value of the dose distribution. This is caused by finite differentiability of the dose-volume histogram at such values. A closer look near such values reveals that convergence is most likely not at stake, but it might be slowed down.
Purpose: A Monte Carlo (MC) beam model and its implementation in a clinical treatment planning system (TPS, Varian Eclipse) are presented for a modified ultra-high dose-rate electron FLASH radiotherapy (eFLASH-RT) LINAC. Methods: The gantry head wi
In this paper, we study the global convergence of majorization minimization (MM) algorithms for solving nonconvex regularized optimization problems. MM algorithms have received great attention in machine learning. However, when applied to nonconvex o
Bilevel optimization has arisen as a powerful tool for many machine learning problems such as meta-learning, hyperparameter optimization, and reinforcement learning. In this paper, we investigate the nonconvex-strongly-convex bilevel optimization pro
We previously proposed an intelligent automatic treatment planning framework for radiotherapy, in which a virtual treatment planner network (VTPN) was built using deep reinforcement learning (DRL) to operate a treatment planning system (TPS). Despite
We consider the problem of optimizing the sum of a smooth convex function and a non-smooth convex function using proximal-gradient methods, where an error is present in the calculation of the gradient of the smooth term or in the proximity operator w
