- This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of junction conditions for gluing different $f(R)$ gravitational theories across a non-null hypersurface. Using the variational approach, we systematically derive the junction conditions for both general $f(R)$ theories and the special case of Einstein gravity, for comparison. We demonstrate that when joining two distinct $f(R)$ theories, the junction conditions require continuity of $\partial f(R)/\partial R$, the extrinsic curvature $K_{μν}$, while allowing for discontinuities in the Ricci Scalar $R$. Furthermore, we establish the equivalence between Jordan and Einstein frame formulations through careful treatment of conformal transformations; Our results reveal that different $f(R)$ theories can be consistently matched provided specific relations between their functional forms and geometric quantities are satisfied at the interface.
