In this paper we shall develop existence-uniqueness as well as constructive theory for the solutions of systems of nonlinear boundary value problems when only approximations of the fundamental matrix of the associated homogeneous linear differential systems are known. To make the analysis widely applicable, all the results are proved component-wise. An illustration which dwells upon the sharpness as well as the importance of the obtained results is also presented.
