Consider a smooth manifold equipped with a Morse function
and a metric so that the gradient vector field
satisfies the Morse-Smale conditions. Then the Morse trajectory spaces
can - under an additional technical assumption specified in [1] - be compactified to smooth manifolds with boundary and corners .
These compactifications are constructed such that the codimension-1 strata of the boundary are given by single breaking at a critical point (except in the first case we have to add one copy of
to represent trajectories of length 0),
