The authors deal with the \(n\)-dimensional system \(\varepsilon ^hB(t)\dot x=A(t,\varepsilon)x+f(t,\varepsilon)\;(t\in[0,T]),\) where \(\varepsilon\) is a small parameter, the matrix \(B(t)\) degenerates for any \(t\in[0,T]\), the matrix \(A(t,\varepsilon)\) and vector-function \(f(t,\varepsilon)\) admit uniform asymptotic expansions on \([0,T]\): \(A(t,\varepsilon)=A_0(t)+\varepsilon A_1(t)+\cdots;\;f(t,\varepsilon)=f_0(t)+\varepsilon f_1(t)+\cdots\). It is assumed that the matrix pencil \(L(t,\lambda):=A_0(t)-\lambda B(t)\) is regular and has \(n-1\) simple finite elementary divisors \(\lambda -\lambda_i(t)\), \(i=1,\ldots ,n-1\), and a single infinite one. A solution to the Cauchy problem is sought in the form \[ x(t,\varepsilon)= \sum_{i=1}^{n-1}u_i(t,\varepsilon)\exp\biggl(\varepsilon^{-h} \int_{0}^{t}\lambda_{i}(t,\varepsilon) dt\biggr)+ v(t,\varepsilon), \] with \(u_i(t,\varepsilon)= \sum_{k\geq q_i}\varepsilon^ku_{i,k}(t),\;v(t,\varepsilon) = \sum_{k\geq q}\varepsilon^kv_{k}(t),\;\lambda_i(t,\varepsilon)=\sum_{k\geq 0}\varepsilon^k\lambda_{i,k}(t)\), and \(q_i,\;q\) are integers. Two cases are considered: 1) the nonresonant case, when the matrix pencil does not have zero eigenvalue; 2) the resonant case, when there is a unique zero eigenvalue, namely, \(\lambda_1(t)\equiv 0\). It is shown that in the first case \(q_i=q=0\), while in the second one \(q_1=q=-1\), \(q_i=0\), \(i=2,\ldots,n-1\), provided that the initial value of the solution satisfies certain orthogonality conditions.
