Notably, in the implementation, the proposed method differs from existing approaches, in that it does not require a safeguarding strategy and its Hessian matrix is positive and definite throughout the iteration process. Numerical experiments are conducted on a range of test problems, with 120 instances to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed algorithm by comparing it with existing techniques in the literature. However, the results obtained validate the effectiveness of the proposed method in terms of the standard metrics of comparison. Additionally, the proposed approach is applied to address motion-control problems in a robotic model, resulting in favorable outcomes in terms of the robot�s motion characteristics. © 2023 by the authors. date: 2023 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Yunus, R.B. and Zainuddin, N. and Daud, H. and Kannan, R. and Abdul Karim, S.A. and Yahaya, M.M.
