Oct 18, 2011 at 9:23 comment added Igor Rivin I very much doubt it. For $B=I,$ you are asking for a system of eigenvectors for $A,$ which is a question which has received a lot of attention over the last couple of centuries. If there were a closed form, that would be quite amazing.

Oct 18, 2011 at 6:37 comment added Abhishek Halder Thanks for pointing that out. I am wondering if $A$ and $B$ are symmetric positive semi-definite, then can we write $X$ explicitly in terms of $A$ and $B$? I am trying to get a result similar to Theorem 1 here: kb.osu.edu/dspace/handle/1811/22234?mode=full
