To overcome these limitations and enhance the algorithm's search capability, this paper proposes a new PSO variant called Dynamic Repulsion-Attraction PSO based on Adaptive Adjustment (DRA-PSO). The DRA-PSO introduces an inertia weight that varies with the number of iterations and learning factors that adjust according to the inertia weight to improve the adaptability of the algorithm. Furthermore, a repulsion-attraction strategy based on population diversity is designed to balance global and local search capabilities. Finally, a terminal elimination strategy is incorporated to establish a self-purification mechanism for population quality and sustain the activation of the exploration capability. To evaluate the performance of DRA-PSO, comparative experiments were conducted with four other improved PSO algorithms using nine benchmark test functions. The results demonstrate that DRA-PSO not only maintains population diversity but also achieves faster convergence and higher global optimization accuracy.
