We developed an optimization model and algorithms considering cross-departmental bed-sharing costs, patient waiting costs, and the impact on medical quality when patients are assigned to non-primary departments. First, we propose an algorithm to calculate departmental similarity and quantify the effect on patients’ length of stay when admitted to non-primary departments. We then formulate a two-stage cost minimization problem: the first stage involves determining bed allocation for each department, and the second stage involves dynamic admission control decisions. For the second stage, we apply a dynamic programming method and approximate the model using deterministic linear programming to ensure practicality and computational efficiency. Numerical studies validate the effectiveness of our approach. Results show that our model and algorithms significantly improve bed resource utilization and medical service quality, supporting hospital management decisions.</p>","PeriodicalId":50231,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Combinatorial Optimization","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142452390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Budget games have several similarities to congestion games, one of which is that the matroid structure of the strategy space is essential for the existence of a pure Nash equilibrium (PNE). Despite these similarities, however, the theoretical relation between budget games and congestion games has been unclear. In this paper, we provide a common generalization of budget games and congestion games, called generalized budget games (g-budget games, for short), to establish a large class of noncooperative games retaining the nice property of the matroid structure. We show that the model of g-budget games includes weighted congestion games and player-specific congestion games under certain assumptions. We further show that g-budget games also include offset budget games, a generalized model of budget games by Drees, Feldotto, Riechers, and Skopalik (2019). We then prove that every matroid g-budget game has a PNE, which extends the result for budget games.
