Sep 19, 2023 at 20:22 comment added Pietro Majer And one may also absorb the coefficients $a_i$, letting $y_i:=a_i^{1/3}x_i$ and $K'_{ij}:=a_i^{-1/3}K_{ij}a_j^{-1/3}$, still a symmetric semi-definite matrix with non-negative coefficients. The equation then writes $y_i^2=\sum_j K'_{ij}y_j$.

Sep 19, 2023 at 20:12 comment added David Roberts This is equivalent to $a_i x_i^2 =\sum_j K_{ij} x_j$, for $x_i=z_i^{-1}$, it seems.
Sep 19, 2023 at 16:59 comment added Iman Nodozi @PietroMajer, yes.
Sep 19, 2023 at 16:59 comment added Iman Nodozi @DavidRoberts, I added your equation to the main question.

Sep 19, 2023 at 15:14 comment added Pietro Majer Do you want a solution $z$ with positive coefficients?

Sep 19, 2023 at 7:43 comment added Max Horn Ah, I see, the interpretation by David Roberts makes sense, I guess -- and I agree it would be better to use that in the question (assuming it is indeed what Iman intended to ask? If not, all the more reason to clarify the question)
Sep 19, 2023 at 6:09 comment added David Roberts @ImanNodozi I suggest editing the question to use the equation in my comment and dispense with the (to me) novel notation for the operations. Everyone here would be comfortable with index notation.
Sep 19, 2023 at 6:04 comment added Iman Nodozi @DavidRoberts, Yes, you are right.
Sep 19, 2023 at 4:51 comment added David Roberts @MichaelRenardy I would have thought it was $a_i = \sum_j z_i^2K_{ij}z_j^{-1}$, based on the description in the post.
Sep 19, 2023 at 3:30 comment added Gerry Myerson Then maybe you should remove the misleading word "another" from your post, Iman.
Sep 19, 2023 at 3:21 comment added Iman Nodozi @GerryMyerson, I have tried solving it analytically but couldn't find a solution. I also attempted using Matlab's 'fsolve ' function but without success.
Sep 19, 2023 at 3:19 comment added Iman Nodozi @JohnOmielan, I removed the extra parameters.

Sep 19, 2023 at 2:57 comment added Michael Renardy I know some folks avoid indices at all costs, but this often makes it more difficult to understand what is intended. Do you mean: $a_i=\sum_{j,k} z_iz_jK_{jk}z_k^{-1}$? If not, please clarify.
Sep 19, 2023 at 2:25 comment added Gerry Myerson When you ask, "Is there another approach...", that indicates that you already know (at least) one approach. Please tell us what approach(es) you already know, so we don't waste time and effort telling you things you already know.
