Particular examples of gradient--like vector fields include the class of gradient vector fields with respect to Euclidean or pseudo-Euclidean inner products, and the class of Hamiltonian vector fields associated to symplectic structures on $\\mathbb{R}^{n}$ (with $n$ even). The main result of this article provides a geometric version of the main result of [1].", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-01-15T14:08:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "non-integrable vector fields", "prescribed gradient-like domains", "main result", "hamiltonian vector fields", "left/right gradient-like vector field" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
