Abstract: In the context of complex WKB analysis, we discuss a one-dimensional Schr"odinger equation $-h^{2}partia{l}_x^{2}f(x,h)+[Q(x)+h{Q}_1(x,h)]f(x,h)=0,ho0,$ where $Q(x)$, $Q_1(x,h)$ are analytic near the origin $x=0$, $Q(0)=0$, and $Q_1(x,h)$ is a factorially divergent power series in $h$. We show that there is a change of independent variable $y=y(x,h)$, analytic near $x=0$ and factorially divergent with respect to $h$, that transforms the above Schr"odinger equation to a canonical form. The proof goes by reduction to a mildly nonlinear equation on $y(x,h)$ and by solving it using an appropriately modified Newton's method of tangents. Our result generalizes that of Aoki, Kawai, and Takei.
