In this study, we employed the homotopy analysis transform method (HATM) to derive an iterative scheme to numerically solve a singular second-order hyperbolic pseudo-differential equation. We evaluated the effectiveness of the derived scheme in solving both linear and nonlinear equations of similar nature through a series of illustrative examples. The stability of this scheme in handling the approximate solutions of these examples was studied graphically and numerically. A comparative analysis with existing methodologies from the literature was conducted to assess the performance of the proposed approach. Our findings demonstrate that the HATM-based method offers notable efficiency, accuracy, and ease of implementation when compared to the alternative technique considered in this study.
