equation 1: d^2f1/dx^2-Q/K1*F1+P/K1=0
equation 2 d^2f2/dx^2-Q/K1*F2+P/K2=0 Boundary conditions F1(0)=0 F2(l)=P F1(l-u)=F2(l-u) dF1/dx(l-u)=dF2/dx(l-u) PS All variables l, u, P,Q and K1 are known

Use "bvp4c" with the "multipoint boundary value problem" facility:

function dydx = f(x,y,region)
P = ...;
Q = ...;
K1 = ...;
K2 = ...;
dydx = zeros(2,1);
dydx(1) = y(2);
% The definition of dydx(2) depends on the region.
switch region
case 1 % x in [0 l-u]
dydx(2) = y(1)*Q/K1-P/K1
case 2 % x in [l-u l]
dydx(2) = y(1)*Q/K1-P/K2;
end
function res = bc(YL,YR)
P=...;
res = [YL(1,1) % y(0) = 0
YR(1,1) - YL(1,2) % Continuity of F(x) at x=l-u
YR(2,1) - YL(2,2) % Continuity of dF/dx at x=l-u
YR(1,end) - P]; % y(l) = P
You should be able to add initial conditions and call "bvp4c" following the example in my above link.
Of course, you will have to give values to the parameters used in the function routines.
