Three days ago my Samsung phone froze, and yould not respond to any
input from the touch screen.
In the past when such a thing has happened I've found that it can be
cured by taking out the battery and rebooting.
But with this particular Samsung model one cannot remove the battery
without special tools.
Would it have the same effect if I wait a few days for the battery to
go flat, and then try to charge it and restart it?
Has anyone else foudn a way to switch off and restart a phone when the
touch screen doesn't respond and you can't remove the battery?

Did you previously turn on USB debugging in Developer options?

Samsung phone frozen - how to soft reset or hard reboot
If your device is frozen and unresponsive, press and hold the
Power button and the Volume down button down simultaneously for
more than 7 seconds to restart it. When your phone resets, you
will feel it vibrate.

Restart your Samsung Galaxy
It almost sounds too simple, but restarting your Samsung Galaxy
can sometimes fix your touch screen by clearing out what's
causing the issue. Here's how to do it:
1. With your phone on, press and hold the Power button and
Volume Down button for 10+ seconds. On Samsung phones
without a dedicated Power key, press and hold the Volume
Down key and Side key for 10+ seconds.
2. Hold until the Samsung Galaxy logo appears.

There's usually a sequence of e.g. holding the power button for over 30 >seconds doing a reboot ...

You should be able to turn it off by putting it in a trash compactor.
Not sure how to turn it back on, however. Still working on that.

experience you can force a reboot or reset using the physical power
button and one of the volume buttons on the phone. They are usually on
the side edge of the phone. With my motorola phone, I can get to this
screen by holding the power and down volume buttons at the same time and
keep pressing them until the reboot/reset screen appears.

Not to my knowledge.
Next time, before a phone screen becomes unresponsive, turn on Developer options USB debugging so that you can interact with the phone from a PC.
You don't need the screen to respond if you had USB debugging turned on.
The PC can do anything you want to the phone over the USB cable then.

Others already posted the volume-down+power buttons method to force a
reboot.
Which is something very dangerous, if any random PC can take control of
a phone.
You do not know what an iPhone is nor have you ever seen one.

You'd better run and tell that to my former boss, because he paid me to
be in charge of Android and iPhone technical support for ten years.

Poor company!
Good companies do not accept or have strict minimum requirements on
Androids in a business environment. iPhones are always welcome as BYOD
and as company standard.
I have good reasons not to believe your claim.

Don't be ridiculous.
A bank customer help desk, for example, has to answer questions from
clients on any type of phone. The bank has no say on what type of phone
the clients come with. If they try, clients will go elsewhere with their
good money.
