This paper investigates the multistability of complex-valued neural networks (CVNNs) with state-dependent switching rules and discontinuous nonmonotonic piecewise linear activation functions featuring k peaks. By leveraging Brouwer's fixed point theorem and the properties of strictly diagonally dominant matrices, we analyze the existence, stability, and instability of equilibrium points through state space decomposition. Our results demonstrate that an n-neuron switching CVNNs can possess up to [Formula: see text] equilibrium points, among which [Formula: see text] are stable. These findings significantly extend existing results and enrich the stability theory of neural networks. Numerical examples validate the theoretical conclusions and illustrate potential applications in associative memory.

Parameters Affecting Nonlinear Elimination: Zero-Order Input, First-Order Absorption and Two-Compartment Model
When a drug is administered through a constant intravenous infusion and eliminated via nonlinear pharmacokinetics, it follows zero-order input. For example, oral drugs undergo first-order absorption upon administration and are eliminated through nonlinear pharmacokinetics.
