This may be a start. (Note, a value for Vo is needed, I just put in 2).

This is your df/dVin. Note that it is discontinuous!

Then you find f by simple integration:

So now you have the function f(Vin...), You can put in any value, or function, for Vin.

 

Success!

Hi,

I've used the fourth order Runge-Kutta method, the result is below depicted:

You could define the function that way

But it would be the same as

I should think that Fred solved it here: https://community.ptc.com/t5/PTC-Mathcad-Questions/solution-for-the-attached-paper-to-get-figure-2-results-in/m-p/548325#M180502
