Morse theory | Differential topology
In differential topology, a mathematical discipline, and more specifically in Morse theory, a gradient-like vector field is a generalization of gradient vector field. The primary motivation is as a technical tool in the construction of Morse functions, to show that one can construct a function whose critical points are at distinct levels. One first constructs a Morse function, then uses gradient-like vector fields to move around the critical points, yielding a different Morse function. (Wikipedia).
11_7_1 Potential Function of a Vector Field Part 1
The gradient of a function is a vector. n-Dimensional space can be filled up with countless vectors as values as inserted into a gradient function. This is then referred to as a vector field. Some vector fields have potential functions. In this video we start to look at how to calculat

One prominent example of a vector field is the Gradient Vector Field. Given any scalar, multivariable function f: R^n\to R, we can get a corresponding vector field that has a precise geometrical meaning: the vectors point in the direction of maximal increase of the function. MY VECTOR CA
