Abstract

While many real-world optimization problems typically involve multiple constraints, unconstrained problems hold practical and fundamental significance. They can arise directly in specific applications or as transformed versions of constrained optimization problems.‎ ‎Newton's method‎, ‎a notable numerical technique within the category of line search algorithms, is widely used for function optimization‎. The search direction and step length play crucial roles in this algorithm. ‎This paper introduces an algorithm aimed at enhancing the step length within the Broyden quasi-Newton process‎. ‎Additionally‎, ‎numerical examples are provided to compare the effectiveness of this new method with another approach‎.
