contents In this paper, we consider systems of linear ordinary differential equations, with analytic coefficients on big sectorial domains, which are asymptotically diagonal for large values of $|z|$. Inspired by N. Levinson's work [Lev48], we introduce two conditions on the dominant diagonal term (the $L$-$condition$) and on the perturbation term (the $good\,\,decay\,\,condition$) of the coefficients of the system, respectively. Under these conditions, we show the existence and uniqueness, on big sectorial domains, of an $asymptotic$ fundamental matrix solution, i.e. asymptotically equivalent (for large $|z|$) to a fundamental system of solutions of the unperturbed diagonal system. Moreover, a refinement (in the case of subdominant solutions) and a generalization (in the case of systems depending on parameters) of this result are given. As a first application, we address the study of a class of ODEs with not-necessarily meromorphic coefficients. We provide sufficient conditions on the coefficients ensuring the existence and uniqueness of an asymptotic fundamental system of solutions, and we give an explicit description of the maximal sectors of validity for such an asymptotics. Furthermore, we also focus on distinguished examples in this class of ODEs arising in the context of open conjectures in Mathematical Physics relating Integrable Quantum Field Theories and affine opers ($ODE/IM\,\,correspondence$). Our results fill two significant gaps in the mathematical literature pertaining to these conjectural relations. As a second application, we consider the classical case of ODEs with meromorphic coefficients. Under an $adequateness$ condition on the coefficients, we show that our results reproduce (with a shorter proof) the main asymptotic existence theorems of Y. Sibuya [Sib62, Sib68] and W. Wasow [Was65] in their optimal refinements.
