Vector field decomposition and first integrals with applications to non-linear systems

M.Sc. === Roels [1] showed that on a two dimensional symplectic manifold, an arbitrary vector field can be locally decomposed into the sum of a gradient vector field and a Hamilton vector field. The Roels decomposition was extended to be applicable to compact even dimensional manifolds by Mendes and...
