Abstract. In this paper, some necessary and sufficient conditions are established for the existence of solutions to the system of operator equations BXA = B = AXB in the setting of bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space, where the unknown operator X is called the inverse of A along B. After that, under some mild conditions, it is proved that an operator
