Consider a linear system of ordinary differential equations with complex time \[ dy/dz=B(z)y \tag{*} \] with \(B(z)=B^i_{-r_i-1}/(z-a_i)^{r_i+1}+\ldots +B^i_{-1}/(z-a_i)+B^i_0+\ldots\). Here, \(B^i_k\) are constant matrices with complex entries and \(r_i\) is the Poincaré rank of the system at the singular point \(a_i\). All singular points are presumed regular, i.e., the solutions have a moderate (polynomial) growth rate at them. The author estimates the order of the zero of a component of a fundamental solution to system \((*)\) at a given point (singular or not) via the local exponents of the solution at the singular points. Based on this estimate, he gives then an estimate on the multiplicity of a zero of a polynomial in several variables considered on the trajectory of a solution to a linear system of ordinary differential equations with regular singular points.
