Abstract: We construct a generalization of the multiplicative product of distributions presented by L. H"ormander in [L. H"ormander, {it The analysis of linear partial differential operators I} (Springer-Verlag, 1983)]. The new product is defined in the vector space $$ of piecewise smooth functions $$ and all their (distributional) derivatives. It is associative, satisfies the Leibniz rule and reproduces the usual pointwise product of functions for regular distributions in $$. Endowed with this product, the space $$ becomes a differential associative algebra of generalized functions. By working in the new $$-setting we determine a method for transforming an ordinary linear differential equation with general solution $psi$ into another, ordinary linear differential equation, with general solution $ch{i}_{Omega}psi$, where $ch{i}_{Omega}$ is the characteristic function of some prescribed interval $$.
