Jun 25, 2019 at 13:46 comment added Igor Khavkine Following up on Anthony's comment, letting $Y = (x_1^{-1}, \ldots, x_n^{-1})$ as a row vector, the resulting equation is $Y(\hat{B}-\hat{P}A)=0$, where $\hat{B}$ and $\hat{P}$ are now diagonal matrices with the elements of $B$ and $P$ on the diagonal, respectively.
Jun 25, 2019 at 5:56 comment added Anthony Quas No. If you call $y_i=x_i^{-1}$, then both sides are linear expressions in the $y_i$ (try writing out the 2 sides).
Jun 25, 2019 at 5:54 comment added Mahdi - Free Palestine If $X$ is a solution then $\alpha X$ also is a solution, for each $\alpha > 0$. So, there is no uniqueness condition, in general.

Jun 25, 2019 at 5:18 comment added ppp Thanks, Anthony! But I think it would still be nonlinear equation in $x_i^{-1}$, no?
Jun 25, 2019 at 4:33 comment added Anthony Quas If you multiply on the right by $X^{-1}$, then you obtain a linear equation in the $x_i^{-1}$.
