Synopsis

By use of the theory of asymptotic expansions for first-order linear systems of ordinary differential equations, asymptotic formulas are obtained for the solutions of an nth order linear homogeneous ordinary differential equation with complex coefficients having asymptotic expansions in a sector of the complex plane. These asymptotic formulas involve the roots of certain polynomials whose coefficients are obtained from the asymptotic expansions of the coefficients of the differential operator.
