Abstract
In this note, we show that the singular value condition \(\sigma _{\max }(B) < \sigma _{\min }(A)\) leads to the unique solvability of the absolute value equation \(Ax + B|x| = b\) for any b. This result is superior to those appeared in previously published works by Rohn (Optim Lett 3:603–606, 2009).
