Hi,
a) you do not solve
> NDSolve[{x'[t]=y[t],y[0]=0}, {y'[t]=x+Sin[t]+c*y[t]},{x,y},{t,0,2Pi}]
because it is full of errors, for equations you have to use Equal[] == and
not Set[] =,
there is no initial condition for x[0] and in the last differential equation
a x[t] is missed.
b) in your question c is simply a function of y and you should define a
function c[y] with
c[y_?NumericQ] /; y < -1 := 0.0
c[y_?NumericQ] /; -1 <= y <= 1 := 1.
c[y_?NumericQ] := 2.0
and type the correct version of the NDSolve[] command
NDSolve[{x'[t] == y[t], y[0] == 0, x[0] == 0,
y'[t] == x[t] + Sin[t] + c[y[t]]*y[t]}, {x, y}, {t, 0, 2Pi}]
Regards
Jens
