    Summary: We consider a weakly nonlinear system of the form \((I + \varphi(x)A)x = p\), where \(\varphi(x)\) is a real function of the unknown vector \(x\), and \((I + \varphi(x)A)\) is an \(M\)-matrix. We propose to solve it by means of a sequence of linear systems defined by the iteration procedure \((I + \varphi(x_r)A)x_{r+1} = p, r = 0, 1, \dots\). The global convergence is proved by considering a related fixed-point problem.
