Abstract :
On the basis of Matlab mathematical tool, nonlinear programming function-fmincon is used to optimize and design allocation plan for radiological workers at strong radiation field in this paper, establishing corresponding mathematical model and calculating evaluation function. By two-dimension data dimension reduction and constraint conditions matrix transformation to realize the algorithm successfully. Under the same conditions, comparing calculation result of this paper with calculation result of references. As a result, the optimal extent of this paper calculation results is almost same to that of genetic algorithm, but the method of this paper can greatly shorten the calculation time compared with genetic algorithm, so the method of this paper is able to provide reasonable and practical optimization of radiological worker allocation problem in a much shorter time.
