Digraph based medical treatment planning

Abstract

The paper focuses on framework of combinatorial planning for medical treatment on the basis of digraph with three-component vertices (analysis/diagnosis, de-sign/implementation, analysis/decision). A generalized medical treatment plan is considered as a route/trajectory over the digraph. The set of used underlying problems involves: (a) multicriteria analysis/diagnosis, (b) multicriteria selection/design, (c) selection of the treatment direction. Combinatorial synthesis based on morphological clique is used (i.e., Hierarchical Morphological Design). An illustrative numerical example corresponds to children asthma.
