Abstract
For a certain class of autonomous differential equations of the $n$-th order, a three-parameter family of solutions is constructed, the derivative of which vanishes at infinity in the form of a Dirichlet series that converges uniformly and absolutely on the real semiaxis, starting from a certain negative number that is sufficiently small in absolute value.

Preamble
In 1967, in the journal TM III (Vol. 11, No. 517.911), and as previously discussed in \cite{1} and \cite{2}, D. D. Baĭnov investigated the $n$-th order differential equation:
$$y^{(n)} + p_0 y^{(n-1)} + \sum_{l=0}^{n-4} \sum_{s=1}^{n-3-l} p_{ls} y^{(n-2-l-s)} y^{(s)} = 0, \quad (n > 6) \tag{1}$$
where $p_0$ and $p_{ls}$ are constants, and $p_0 \neq 0$. We seek a solution to equation (1) in the form of a Dirichlet series:
$$y = \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} a_k e^{-kbx} \tag{2}$$
where $a_k$ are coefficients to be determined, $b$ is a constant such that $Re(b) > 0$, and the series converges for sufficiently large $x$.
By substituting the series (2) into equation (1), we obtain the following relation for the coefficients:
$$\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} a_k (-kb)^n e^{-kbx} + p_0 \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} a_k (-kb)^{n-1} e^{-kbx} + \sum_{l=0}^{n-4} \sum_{s=1}^{n-3-l} p_{ls} \left( \sum_{r=1}^{\infty} a_r (-rb)^{n-2-l-s} e^{-rbx} \right) \left( \sum_{m=1}^{\infty} a_m (-mb)^s e^{-mbx} \right) = 0$$
Equating the coefficients of $e^{-kbx}$ to zero, we derive the recurrence relations for $a_k$. For $k=1$, we have:
$$a_1 (-b)^n + p_0 a_1 (-b)^{n-1} = 0$$
Since we assume $a_1 \neq 0$, it follows that $b = p_0$. For $k > 1$, the coefficients $a_k$ are determined by:
$$a_k [(-kb)^n + p_0 (-kb)^{n-1}] + \sum_{l=0}^{n-4} \sum_{s=1}^{n-3-l} p_{ls} \sum_{r=1}^{k-1} a_r a_{k-r} (-rb)^{n-2-l-s} (-(k-r)b)^s = 0 \tag{3}$$
From (3), we can express $a_k$ as:
$$a_k = \frac{1}{k^{n-1}(k-1) p_0^n} \sum_{l=0}^{n-4} \sum_{s=1}^{n-3-l} p_{ls} \sum_{r=1}^{k-1} a_r a_{k-r} r^{n-2-l-s} (k-r)^s p_0^{n-2-l} \tag{4}$$
where $k = 2, 3, \dots$.
To ensure the convergence of the series (2), we analyze the growth of the coefficients $a_k$. Let $|a_1| = A$. We aim to show that $|a_k| \leq A^k$ for all $k$. Using the properties of the beta function and the maximum values of the terms in the summation, we consider the integral:
$$\int_0^1 x^{n-2-l-s} (1-x)^s dx = \frac{(n-2-l-s)! s!}{(n-1-l)!}$$
By applying estimates to the summation in (4), we can establish bounds on $|a_k|$. Specifically, we utilize the fact that for $x \in [0, 1]$, the function $f(x) = x^k(1-x)^m$ reaches its maximum at $x = \frac{k}{k+m}$.
Following the methodology of D. D. Baĭnov, we evaluate the sum:
$$\sum_{l=0}^{n-4} \sum_{s=1}^{n-3-l} \frac{(n-2-l-s)! s!}{(n-1)!} \left( \frac{n-2-l-s}{n-2-l} \right)^{n-2-l-s} \left( \frac{s}{n-2-l} \right)^s$$
After simplification and applying the condition $n > 6$, it can be shown that if the coefficients of the original equation satisfy the condition:
$$\max(|p_0|, |p_{ls}|) < \frac{(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)}{4(n-2)^2 + (n-3)^2}$$
then the coefficients $|a_k|$ remain bounded such that the Dirichlet series (2) converges for $Re(p_0 x) > \ln A$.
Thus, we have demonstrated that under the specified constraints on the parameters $p_0$ and $p_{ls}$, the nonlinear differential equation (1) admits a solution in the form of a convergent Dirichlet series. This result extends the findings presented in \cite{1} and \cite{2} regarding the existence of analytic solutions for high-order nonlinear equations.
