Abstract The initial boundary-value problem for systems of fourth-order partial differential equations with two independent variables is considered. By using a new unknown eigenfunction, the problem under consideration is reduced to an equivalent nonlocal problem for a system of second-order hyperbolic-type integro-differential equations with integral conditions. An algorithm for finding an approximate solution of the resulting equivalent problem is proposed, and its convergence is proved. Conditions for the existence of a unique classical solution of the initial boundary-value problem for systems of fourth-order differential equations are established in terms of the coefficients of the system and the boundary matrices.
