Abstract: There is dependably an extraordinary requirement for new types of algorithms in the population-based improvement algorithm. These algorithms improve the execution of the current algorithm. Parameter change approach assumes an essential job in improving the execution of the PSO algorithm. A new algorithm called particle acceleration-based particle swarm optimization (PA-PSO) has been proposed. In this algorithm a particle acceleration parameter is tuned. This algorithm significantly improves the performance of the PSO–time varying acceleration coefficients (PSO-TVAC) algorithm. This algorithm reduces the time varying weight of inertia and the nonlinear acceleration coefficients in the equation of the PSO-TVAC velocity vector in each iteration. Particle movements in the n-dimensional search space are governed by the kinetics of the second motion equation. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed PA-PSO algorithm outperforms the existing PSO-TVAC algorithm on five well-known reference test functions. The algorithm possesses adequate control over the local as well as global optimums.
