In this paper, we study nonzero solutions of the operator equation X-2 AX + XAX = BX, where A, B are given bounded linear operators on Hilbert spaces. Based on the invariant subspace of B, some necessary conditions and sufficient conditions are established for the existence of nonzero solutions of the equation. Moreover, we consider the infinitely many solutions and group invertible solutions. Finally, we give the connection between the nontrivial reducing subspace of B and the nonzero singular commuting solution of the equation.
