Synopsis

A sequence of transformations of the type Y = (I + o(1))Z is developed for the system Y′(x) = {Λ(x) + R(x)}Y(x), where Λ is diagonal. The transformations bring in the derivatives of R in succession until the Levinson form is obtained when a given derivative is reached. This theory covers rapidly varying coefficients and it extends results which are known for constant Λ.
