Solving the volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) problem using a sequential convex programming method

The volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) problem is highly non-convex and much more difficult than the fixed-field intensity modulated radiotherapy optimization problem. To solve it efficiently, we propose a sequential convex programming algorithm that solves a sequence of convex optimization pro...
