Abstract
In this paper, we consider a boundary value problem (BVP) for a fourth-order nonlinear integro-differential equation. By reducing the problem to an operator equation, we establish the existence and uniqueness of the solution and construct a numerical method for solving it. We prove that the method is of second-order accuracy and obtain an estimate for the total error. Some examples demonstrate the validity of the obtained theoretical results and the efficiency of the numerical method.
