The authors deal with a system of ordinary differential equations of the form \[ \varepsilon ^h\dot x=A(t,\varepsilon)x+f(t,\varepsilon)\exp(i\varepsilon ^{-h}\theta (t)). \] Here, the \((n\times n)\)-matrix-valued function \(A(t,\varepsilon)\) and the \({\mathbb{R}}^{n}\)-valued function \(f(t,\varepsilon)\) admit convergent power expansions in \(\varepsilon\): \[ A(t,\varepsilon)= \sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\varepsilon ^kA_k(t)\equiv\{\delta _{ni} \sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\varepsilon^ka_{ijk}(t)+\delta_{i,j-1}\}_{i,j=1}^n \] \(\delta_{ij}\) stands for the Kronecker symbol, and \(f(t,\varepsilon)= \sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\varepsilon^kf_k(t)\). It is assumed that: (1) \(A_k(t),\;f_k(t),\;\theta(t)\) are smooth on \([0,L]\); (2) the roots of the characteristic equation \(\det(\lambda\text{Id}-A_0(t))=0\) are distinct on the set \([0,L]\backslash \{t_k\}_{k=0}^p\) and coincide at turning points \(t=t_k\), the matrix \(A_0(t)\) being nilpotent and such that \(A_0^{n-1}(t_k)\neq 0,\;A_0^n(t_k)=0\); (3) \(a_{n10}(t)+\varepsilon a_{n11}(t)\neq 0\) for all \(t\in[0,L]\). Under these conditions the authors obtain an asymptotic expansion for a partial solution to a nonhomogeneous system and establish an estimate for the difference between this solution and its \(m\)-approximation. Next, by using the diagram analysis, the authors study a homogeneous system with a simple turning point \(t=0\). Conditions are found which guarantee the construction of an asymptotic expansion for solutions in terms of elementary functions.
