New discretization of Caputo–Fabrizio derivative

We derive a numerical approximation, namely L1–2 formula, to the Caputo–Fabrizio derivative by using a quadratic interpolation. Quadratic and cubic convergence rates are achieved for L1 and L1–2 formulas using Lagrange interpolation, respectively. We compute Caputo–Fabrizio derivatives of some known functions both theoretically and numerically. In addition, we solve non/linear sub-diffusion equations to test theoretical findings. Numerical results confirm the theoretically observed convergence rates.
