Consider the system \[ x'=f(x),f(0)=0. \] It is assumed that all eigenvalues of the matrix \(Df(0)\) are zero, and that there exist solutions \(x(t)\) such that their rate of convergence to the origin (as \(t\to\infty\)) is not exponential. The authors develop an algebraic method of constructing asymptotic expansions for these solutions (in a sense, this method is analogous to Lyapunov's first method). Some interesting applications of the theory are described.
