Hi,
Clear[funifcase1]
funifcase1[t_?NumericQ] :=
If[0 <= t < 1/3, Sin[t],
If[1/3 <= t <= 2/3, -1, If[2/3 < t <= 1, Cos[t]]]];
Print["funifcase1 is given by ", funifcase1[t]];
solifcase1 =
NDSolve[{y''[t] + y'[t] + y[t] - funifcase1[t] == 0, y[0] == 0,
y'[0] == 1}, y, {t, 0, 1}];
Plot[Evaluate[{y[t], y'[t]} /. solifcase1], {t, 0, 1},
PlotStyle -> {Black, {Red, Dashed}}]
work fine, what is your problem ?
Regards
Jens

The third section is similar to my case, while the first and second case, I kept it here, to show that NDSolve[] solves the nested If[] with no problem. So you can directly go to the third section, please see the comments to go to the correct section. The reason I am posting it here, is even the Piecewise[] is not solving in my (original problem) case.
