In this paper, based on the geometrical properties of the discontinuous activation functions and the Brouwer’s fixed point theory, the multistability issue is tackled for the complex-valued neural networks with discontinuous activation functions and time-varying delays. To address the network with discontinuous functions, Filippov solution of the system is defined. Through rigorous analysis, several sufficient criteria are obtained to assure the existence of class="mathmlsrc">class="formulatext stixSupport mathImg" data-mathURL="/science?_ob=MathURL&_method=retrieve&_eid=1-s2.0-S0893608016301125&_mathId=si19.gif&_user=111111111&_pii=S0893608016301125&_rdoc=1&_issn=08936080&md5=72e16a46dcf8dd4e320f35309d664fc5" title="Click to view the MathML source">25nclass="mathContainer hidden">class="mathCode"> equilibrium points.
