In this article, the authors prove the existence of a smooth solution of the equation of evolution of harmonic maps if the initial data lies in a compact subset of the upper hemisphere of an ellispoid.
Abstract
This paper is concerned with the evolution of harmonic maps from an open set Ω of ℝm into an n-dimensionnal ellipsoid $$N = \left\{ {u = (u_I ,u_{II} ) \in \mathbb{R}^n \times \mathbb{R}/u_I^2 + \frac{{u_{II}^2 }}{{a^2 }} = 1} \right\}$$ where a ∈ (0, 1] We prove the existence of a smooth solution of the equation of evolution of harmonic maps if the initial data lies in a compact subset of the upper hemisphere of an ellispoid.

Uniqueness and Stability of Harmonic Maps and Their Jacobi Fields.

TL;DR: In this paper, an estimate of the distances of Riemannian manifolds by the distance of their boundary values was proved using a maximum principle. But it was not shown that the maximum principle can be used to estimate the distance between the norm of Jacobi fields along harmonic maps.
