We consider a nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm integral equation NVFIE of the second kind. The Volterra kernel is time dependent, and the Fredholm kernel is position dependent. Existence and uniqueness of the solution to this equation, under certain conditions, are discussed. The block-by- block method is introduced to solve such equations numerically. Some numerical examples are given to illustrate our results. 1. Introduction Different methods are used to solve integral equations which are investigated from many physical applications such as the mixed problems in the theory of elasticity. Popov 1 applied the orthogonal polynomials method to solve the mixed problem in the mechanics of continuous media. Badr 2 applied Toeplitz matrix method to solve a NVFIE. Abdou et al. 3 discussed the solution of Harmmerstein-Volterra integral equation of the second kind. In 4, Haci obtained, numerically, the solution of a system of Harmmerstein integral equations in the space L2 a, b. The equivalence between Volterra integral equation with degenerate kernel and a linear system of differential equa
