Particle swarm optimizer is a well-known efficient population and control parameter-based algorithm for global optimization of different problems. This paper focuses on a new and primary sample for PSO, which is named phasor particle swarm optimization (PPSO) and is based on modeling the particle control parameters with a phase angle (θ), inspired from phasor theory in the mathematics. This phase angle (θ) converts PSO algorithm to a self-adaptive, trigonometric, balanced, and nonparametric meta-heuristic algorithm. The performance of PPSO is tested on real-parameter optimization problems including unimodal and multimodal standard test functions and traditional benchmark functions. The optimization results show good and efficient performance of PPSO algorithm in real-parameter global optimization, especially for high-dimensional optimization problems compared with other improved PSO algorithms taken from the literature. The phasor model can be used to expand different types of PSO and other algorithms. The source codes of the PPSO algorithms are publicly available at https://github.com/ebrahimakbary/PPSO.
