Abstract
In this work, we study approximations of solutions of fractional differential equations of order 1/2. We present a new method of approximation and obtain the order of convergence. The presentation is given within the abstract framework of a semidiscrete approximation scheme, which includes finite-element methods, finite-difference schemes, and projection methods.
