Gradient ConjectureThe gradient conjecture, due to Ren Thom, was proved in 2000 by K. Kurdyka, T. Mostowski and A. Parusinski. It states that given an analytic function f in Rn and a trajectory x(t) of the gradient vector field of f having a limit point x0 ∈ Rn, there exists a limit (in the projective space PRn) for the secants of x(t) near x0.
