The formulation and implementation of the method are described. Furthermore, numerical results of test problems are also presented to verify the performance of the method compared to 2-Point Full-Sweep Explicit Group (2-FSEG) method. From the numerical results obtained, it is noticeable that the 2-HSEG method is superior to 2-FSEG method, especially in terms of computational time. © 2014 AIP Publishing LLC. %K Integral equations; Numerical methods, Computational time; Explicit group method; Fredholm integral equations; Half-sweep iteration; Newton-Cotes; Numerical results; Numerical solution; Second kinds, Iterative methods %P 186-191 %C Kuala Lumpur %T Numerical solutions for linear Fredholm integral equations of the second kind using 2-point half-sweep explicit group method %A M.S.
