After that, under some mild conditions we prove that an operator $X$ is a solution of $ BXA=B=AXB $ if and only if $B \\stackrel{*}{ \\leq} AXA$, where the $*$-order $C\\stackrel{*}{ \\leq} D$ means $CC^*=DC^*, C^*C=C^*D$. Moreover we present the general solution of the equation above. Finally, we present some characterizations of $C \\stackrel{*}{ \\leq} D$ via other operator equations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-05-19T15:04:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "15A24", "15B48", "47A62", "46L05" ], "keywords": [ "operator equations", "bounded linear operators", "sufficient conditions", "hilbert space", "unknown operator" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
