Abstract: In this paper, the numerical solutions of the backward and forward non-homogeneous wave problems are derived to address the nonlocal boundary conditions. When boundary conditions are not set on the boundaries, numerical instability occurs, and the solution may have a significant boundary error. For this reason, it is challenging to solve such nonlinear problems by conventional numerical methods. First, we derive a nonlocal boundary shape function (NLBSF) from incorporating the Pascal triangle as free functions; hence, the new, two-parameter Pascal bases are created to automatically satisfy the specified conditions for the solution. To satisfy the wave equation in the domain by the collocation method, the solution of the forward nonlocal wave problem can be quickly obtained with high precision. For the backward nonlocal wave problem, we construct the corresponding NLBSF and Pascal bases, which exactly implement two final time conditions, a left-boundary condition and a nonlocal boundary condition; in addition, the numerical method for the backward nonlocal wave problem under two-side, nonlocal boundary conditions is also developed. Nine numerical examples, including forward and backward problems, are tested, demonstrating that this scheme is more effective and stable. Even for boundary conditions with a large noise at final time, the solution recovered in the entire domain for the backward nonlocal wave problem is accurate and stable. The accuracy and efficiency of the method are validated by comparing the estimation results with the existing literature.
