The author derives estimates for the Green's function, that is the inverse of a matrix of the form \[ H(n,m)=D(n)\delta_{n,m}+R(n,m), \quad n,m\in\Lambda\subset \mathbb{Z}^{\nu}, \] where \(\mathbb{R}\) vanishes on the diagonal and decays rapidly as \(|n-m|\) becomes large. The main tool is a modification of the Fröhlich-Spencer coupling lemma [\textit{J. Fröhlich} and \textit{T. Spencer}, Commun. Math. Phys. 88, 151-184 (1983; Zbl 0519.60066)], which is a powerful technique to obtain such estimates in the case of a dominant diagonal of \(D(n)\), the modification allows to weaken the dominant diagonal condition. This result is applied in the construction of quasi-periodic solutions for differential equations.
