Optimal contribution in tree breeding
Many genotypes Highest profit considering genetic diversity A good seed-orchard should
include as many profitable trees as possible keep genetic diversity to improve long-term performance
This problem is solved through an optimization problem called semidefinite programming.

Beam intensity in radiotherapy
For cancer treatment, beam intensity should be controlled so that
higher radiation dose for cancer cells lower radiation dose for normal tissues around cancer
The proposed method solves linear programming iteratively and enables to avoid the serious problem that a specific part receives extraordinary doses.
