We study higher-order asymptotic expansions of eigenvalues in perturbed transfer operators, of the corresponding eigenfunctions and of the corresponding eigenvectors of the dual operators. In our main result, we give explicit expressions of these coefficients and these remainders under mild conditions of linear operators and of (there is even no norm) linear spaces. Moreover we investigate sufficient conditions for convergence of the remainders under weak conditions in the sense that the eigenvalue of perturbed operators does not have a uniform spectrum gap. As our main application, we apply our result to the asymptotic behaviour of Gibbs measures associated with the Hausdorff dimension of the limit set of the so-called graph directed Markov systems. Moreover, we demonstrate the asymptotic behaviours of Ruelle transfer operators without a uniform spectral gap. In another example, we mention that the conditions of our main results are satisfied under the conditions of abstract asymptotic theory given by Gou\"ezel and Liverani and under mild conditions.
