The invention relates to improved methods and systems for computationally efficient optimization of radiation dose delivery. The optimization involves determining an improved form of objective function to be used for mapping radiotherapy beams to a patient body volume having at least one target volume and at least one non-target volume. The objective function has a first term related to the at least one target volume and a second term related to the at least one non-target volume.
