FATA: An efficient optimization method based on geophysics

Algorithm Design: "The Fata Morgana Algorithm (FATA) introduces innovative strategies inspired by mirage formation, namely the Mirage Light Filtering (MLF) and Light Propagation Strategy (LPS), to enhance exploration and exploitation capabilities in solving continuous multi-type optimization problems"

Performance Evaluation: "FATA is rigorously tested against 23 benchmark functions and IEEE CEC 2014, demonstrating its superior optimization performance through qualitative analysis, exploration and exploitation competence assessments, and comprehensive comparisons with other optimizers."

Practical Application: "Applied to three engineering optimization problems, FATA consistently outperforms existing methods, showcasing its potential as a highly effective tool for real-world optimization tasks"
