Abstract: Given a Poisson structure (or, equivalently, a Hamiltonian operator) P, we show that its Lie derivative Lau(P) along a vector field au defines another Poisson structure, which is automatically compatible with P, if and only if [Lau2(P),P]=0, where [cdot,cdot] is the Schouten bracket. We further prove that if dimkerPleq1 and P is of locally constant rank, then all Poisson structures compatible with a given Poisson structure P on a finite-dimensional manifold M are locally of the form Lau(P), where au is a local vector field such that Lau2(P)=Lildeau(P) for some other local vector field ildeau. This leads to a remarkably simple construction of bi-Hamiltonian dynamical systems. We also present a generalization of these results to the infinite-dimensional case. In particular, we provide a new description for pencils of compatible local Hamiltonian operators of Dubrovin--Novikov type and associated bi-Hamiltonian systems of hydrodynamic type. Key words: compatible Poisson structures, Hamiltonian operators, bi-Hamiltonian systems (= bihamiltonian systems), integrability, Schouten bracket, master symmetry, Lichnerowicz--Poisson cohomology, hydrodynamic type systems.
