Submission: 2004, December 17.

Abstract:
Given a definable function F enough differentiable defined over R^n, we find a Lojasiewicz type inequality at infinity satisfied by the gradient of the function F in a neighbourhood of an asymptotic critical value c. We use this result to discuss sufficient conditions to trivialise by the gradient flow of F over a neighbourhood of c.
