Discontinuous Forcing Term. In certain physical models, the nonhomogeneous term, or forcing term, g(t) in the equation
may not be continuous but may have a jump discontinuity. If this occurs, we can still obtain a reasonable solution using the following procedure. Consider the initial value problem;
Where,
Decide whether or not the method of undetermined coefficients can be applied to find a particular solution of the given equation.
Find a general solution
