Abstract
On a Riemannian manifold (M, g) we consider the k + 1 functions F 1, . . . , F k , G and construct the vector fields that conserve F 1, . . . , F k and dissipate G with a prescribed rate. We study the geometry of these vector fields and prove that they are of gradient type on regular leaves corresponding to F 1, . . . , F k . By using these constructions we show that the cubic Morrison dissipation and the Landau-Lifschitz equation can be formulated in a unitary form.
