            Abstract : 
Opposition-based Differential Evolution (ODE) has been proved to be an effective method to Differential Evolution (DE) in solving many optimization functions, and it´s faster and more robust convergence than classical DE. In this paper, a fast ODE algorithm (FODE), using a local search method with Cauchy mutation is proposed. The simulation experiments are conducted on a comprehensive set of 10 complex benchmark functions. Compared with ODE, FODE is faster and more robust.
