A linear approach to fixed field acceleration was first proposed [*,**] and successfully developed to support the rapid and large-emittance acceleration of muons for a Neutrino Factory or Muon Collider. Lattices have evolved from a simple F0D0-cell base as first proposed to a slightly more complex layout that has been referred to as a triplet configuration. In this work a methodology is developed for optimizing nonscaling lattices which demonstrates that the appropriate description is minimum momentum compaction, alpha=(dL/L)/(dp/p). Further, the triplet configuration is not used conventionally as a focusing telescope, but rather its optics is shown to resemble that of a F0D0-cell. This methodology is then used to propose and compare lattices for muon acceleration. Specifically a 2.5-5, 5-10, and 10-20 GeV/c lattice is proposed for muon acceleration and also one for a small, 10-20 MeV/c electron prototype machine.
