AB  - We present a new efficient leaf sequencing algorithm for the generation of intensity maps by a nonnegative combination of segments. Intensity maps describe the intensity modulation of beams in radiotherapy. We only study the static case (stop and shoot) an optimize the total number of monitor units and the number of segments. We will present a short exact proof for a formula giving the smallest total number of monitor units and describe a class of algorithms yielding this minimal value. A special member of this class provides in addition a solution with a very small number of segments.<eng>
