AgradecimientosAgradecerle primero a Dios, por sus infinitas bondades y poner en mi camino grandes oportunidades, retos y personas que me acompañan en este camino que es la vida.A mi familia: Mis padres, Nelson y Damaris, por su amor incondicional, su ejemplo de vida y apoyarme en cada proyecto que emprendo; a mi novia, Ángela, por su amor, compañía, paciencia y llenarme de ánimos para seguir adelante cuando no doy más; a mis hermanos, Luis Fernando y Carmen Lizeth, por su amor y confianza; a mis sobrinos Daniel Santiago y Lizeth Daniela, por enseñarme a luchar por mis sueños porque siempre habrá alguien que me preguntará si me gusta lo que hago; a mis abuelas, Toribia y Clara, por su amor y oraciones; y a todos los demás por ser un apoyo incondicional.Al profesor Juan Pablo Castrellón Torres, mi director y amigo, por creer incondicionalmente en mí y enseñarme que en este camino que a veces es complicado siempre hay espacio para una risa.A los miembros del grupo de investigación
Cadaveric liver transplantation is the only viable therapy for end-stage liver disease patients without a living donor. However, this type of transplantation is hindered in the United States by donor scarcity and rapid viability decay. Given these difficulties, the current U.S. liver allocation policy balances allocation likelihood and geographic proximity by allocating cadaveric livers hierarchically. We consider the problem of maximizing the efficiency of intraregional transplants through the redesign of liver allocation regions. We formulate the problem as a set partitioning problem that clusters organ procurement organizations into regions. We develop an estimate of viability-adjusted intraregional transplants to capture the trade-off between large and small regions. We utilize branch and price because the set partitioning formulation includes too many potential regions to handle explicitly. We formulate the pricing problem as a mixed-integer program and design a geographic-decomposition heuristic to generate promising columns quickly. Because the optimal solution depends on the design of geographic decomposition, we develop an iterative procedure that integrates branch and price with local search to alleviate this dependency. Finally, we present computational studies that show the benefit of region redesign and the efficacy of our solution approach. Our carefully calibrated test instances can be solved within a reasonable amount of time, and the resulting region designs yield a noticeable improvement over the current configuration.set partitioning, branch and price, column generation, clustering, organ allocation
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
