For Vin > 0 V,
Va > Vb and the diode becomes ON.
Now, the circuit becomes

The above circuit represents voltage follower circuit.
So, the output voltage V0 = Vin
For Vin < 0 V
Va < Vb and the diode becomes OFF.
Now, the circuit becomes

Virtual Ground concept is NOT valid for open loop system.
Therefore,
V0 = 0 V
Now, the transfer characteristic for the given circuit are:
