In this paper, we introduce a new direct scheme based on Dickson polynomials and collocation points to solve a class of optimal control problems (OCPs) governed by Volterra integro-differential equations namely Volterra integro-OCPs (VI-OCPs). This topic requires to calculating the corresponding operational matrices for expanding the solution of this problem in terms of Dickson polynomials. Further, the highlighted method allows us to transform the VI-OCP into a system of algebraic equations for choosing the coefficients and control parameters optimally. The error estimation of this technique is also investigated which given the high efficiency of the Dickson polynomials to deal with these problems. Finally, some examples are brought to confirm the validity and applicability of this approach in comparison with those obtained from other methods.
