Zahhak Optimization Algorithm

A population-based metaheuristic inspired by Persian mythology. It elegantly balances global exploration and local convergence using an adaptive nonlinear control mechanism, making it highly efficient for solving complex engineering problems under strict computational budgets.

Buzjani Tiling strategy

A lightweight, plug-and-play geometric local refinement module inspired by mathematical spatial division. It uses a rotation-invariant hexagonal grid to perform high-precision local searches with near-zero overhead, seamlessly boosting the accuracy and stability of ZOA and other baseline algorithms.
