 The American Zebra Optimization Algorithm, AZOA, is inspired by the behavior of American zebras in the wild. It is designed to explore new areas and avoid overcrowding, just like the zebras do when they migrate. Additionally, the algorithm ensures convergence by directing the speed and direction of the group. This makes it more efficient than other algorithms at solving complex optimization problems.
