In this paper, we develop a new, simple, and accurate scheme to obtain approximate solution for nonlinear differential equation in the sense of Caputo-Fabrizio operator. To derive this new predictor-corrector scheme, which suits on Caputo-Fabrizio operator, firstly, we obtain the corresponding initial value problem for the differential equation in the Caputo-Fabrizio sense. Hence, by fractional Euler method and fractional trapeziodal rule, we obtain the predictor formula as well as corrector formula. Error analysis for this new method is derived. To test the validity and simplicity of this method, some illustrative examples for nonlinear differential equations are solved.

INTRODUCTIONIn 2015, Michele Caputo and Mauro Fabrizio introduced a new definition of Caputo derivative, 1 which was called Caputo-Fabrizio fractional derivative. The main characteristics of this new definition are including regular kernel, having two different representations for temporal and spatial variables and as memory operator. Although it was verified that the operator does not fit the usual concepts neither for fractional nor for integer derivative/integral, 2 the new operator was successfully applied in describing the control movement of waves on the area of shallow water, 3 unsteady flows of an incompressible Maxwell fluid, 4 anomalous diffusion phenomena, 5 diffusion and the diffusion-advection equation, 6 epidemiological model for computer viruses, 7 model of circadian rhythms, 8 and many more phenomena. In this research direction, some existing numerical methods have been extended to the problem defined in the sense of this new Caputo-Fabrizio operator. Among them is the combination of the Laplace transform and homotopy analysis method to solve the so-called fractional partial differential equation problem with Caputo-Fabrizio operator. 9 Other methods include multiqaudric (MQ)-RBF collocation method, 10 discretization scheme, 11 fractional Adams-Bashforth method, 12 and three-step fractional Adams-Bashforth method. 13 However, since Caputo-Fabrizio operator is relatively new, there are still relatively limited works that have been done to obtain the simple, reliable, and accurate solution for the problem defined in Caputo-Fabrizio operator.On the other hand, predictor-corrector scheme had been extended to solve fractional differential equations. 14 Since that, some modification was done to obtain a better accurate scheme or more suitable to different problems, such as Abbreviation used: Fractional ordinary differential equation (FODE).
