Definition
1
Out of tumor (OUT)
Feasible region
A set of all possible points of a predetermined space called a feasible region which satisfies the mathematical model’s constraints.
2
Tumor (TU)
Infeasible region
A set of points which are located out of the feasible set and cannot satisfy at least one of the constraints of our optimization model.
3
Tumor Position (TP)
Infeasibility Function
TP indicates an approximate measure to calculate the infeasibility of a point from the border of a predetermined constraint. Also, Total TP (TTP) is an aggregation of TPs for calculating the total infeasibility.
4
Tumor size (TS)
Objective function
TS is a function that we want to optimize subject to different constraints by using mathematical programming techniques. In fact, it is going to minimize the tumor size.
5
Healthy cell
Feasible solution
Indicating a solution which is located in the feasible region.
6
Cancer and bad cell
Infeasible solution
Indicating a solution which is located in the infeasible region.
