Nonlocal boundary conditions are more effective, and in some cases necessary, because they are more accurate measurements of the true state than classical (local) initial and boundary conditions. Closed-form solutions are always desirable, not only because they are more efficient, but also because they can be valuable benchmarks for validating approximate and numerical procedures. This paper presents a direct operator method for solving, in closed form, a class of Volterra\u2013Fredholm\u2013Hammerstein-type integro-differential equations under nonlocal boundary conditions when the inverse operator of the associated Volterra integro-differential operator exists and can be found explicitly. A technique for constructing inverse operators of convolution-type Volterra integro-differential operators (VIDEs) under multipoint and integral conditions is provided. The proposed methods are suitable for integration into any computer algebra system. Several linear and nonlinear examples are solved to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/a16010036","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,9]],"date-time":"2023-01-09T04:47:08Z","timestamp":1673239628000},"page":"36","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Symbolic Method for Solving a Class of Convolution-Type Volterra\u2013Fredholm\u2013Hammerstein Integro-Differential Equations under Nonlocal Boundary Conditions"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Efthimios","family":"Providas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Environmental Sciences, Gaiopolis Campus, University of Thessaly, 415 00 Larissa, Greece"}]},{"given":"Ioannis Nestorios","family":"Parasidis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Environmental Sciences, Gaiopolis Campus, University of Thessaly, 415 00 Larissa, Greece"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Wazwaz, A.M.
