An integrating factor explains the second hint and the first-order inner calculation. For
multiplication by gives . The term already produces , and integrating the remaining terms twice gives , in terms of the Gaussian drift primitives. The homogeneous solutions are a constant and the error function. Hence
For the piecewise forcing in the inner problem, replaces and provides the continuously matched particular solution for . The coefficients and then account for the forcing.
