Cover Story: This article introduces two numerical methods, grounded in the Theory of Functional Connections (TFC), for solving linear ordinary differential equations with step discontinuities in the forcing term. The first approach, the g-embedded method, enforces continuity constraints independently of boundary constraints by constructing a free function from local functions defined over subdomains. These local functions are directly integrated and stitched together to satisfy continuity, with a stair-stepping schematic employed to represent the functional dependence of each subdomain on its predecessors. In contrast, the S-embedded method simultaneously incorporates both continuity and boundary constraints through a set of weighted support functions, also defined over local subdomains. View this paper
