Abstract
A generalized version of the Kato-Bloch perturbation expansion is presented. It consists of replacing simple numbers appearing in the perturbative series by matrices. It is shown that the matrix expansion converges for a suitably chosen subspace and, for weakly coupled Heisenberg chains, it can lead to an ordered state starting from a disordered single chain.
