Homework Statement
A, B, I-Y^-1, X, Y are n x n invertible matrices
(A(I-Y^-1))^-1 = YB
Solve for Y
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
(I - Y^-1)^-1A^-1 = YB
(I - Y^-1)^-1A^-1B^-1 = Y
A^-1B^-1 = (I - Y^-1)Y
A^-1B^-1 = Y - I
A^-1B^-1*(A^-1B^-1)^-1 = Y - I(A^-1B^-1)^-1
I = Y - (A^-1B^-1)^-1
Y^-1*I = Y^-1*Y - (A^-1B^-1)^-1
Y^-1 = I - (A^-1B^-1)^-1
Inverse both sides
Y = (I - (A^-1B^-1)^-1)^-1
or is it
Y = I^-1 - A^-1B^-1
Y = I - A^-1B^-1
Is this correct?
