AbstractWe show that there exist two proper gradient vector fields on $$\mathbb {R}^n$$ R n which are homotopic in the category of proper maps but not homotopic in the category of proper gradient maps.

We examine enumerating discrete Morse functions on graphs up to equivalence by gradient vector fields and by restrictions on the codomain.  We give formulae for the number of discrete Morse functions on specific classes of graphs (line, cycle, and bouquet of circles).

We find what condition on gradient vector fields characterizes warped products, Riemannian products and round spheres. To do this we apply the theory of Jacobi equations without conjugate points to the differential maps of the local one-parameter groups generated by gradient vector fields.
