Abstract :
Applying differential element analysis methods, integer linear programming theory and stochastic processes ideas, we build models for the kidneys matching, the distribution network, the exchange system and the individual decision-making strategy, and thoroughly analyze the relationship between the organ matching rate and the waiting time, and their impacts on the efficiency of the donor-matching process.
