In this study, we use the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) to solve an initial-boundary value problem with a non-classic condition for the one-dimensional wave equation.We will deal with a new type of non-local boundary value problems which are the solution of hyperbolic partial differential equations with a non-standard boundary specification. The method is very reliable and effective and provides the solution in terms of rapid convergent series. Several examples are tested to support our study.
