Abstract

We study Dirichlet problems for harmonic maps from a Riemannian mm-manifold (M,g)(M,g) into a Finsler nn-manifold (N,F)(N, F). We assume that the dimension of the source manifold MM is less than or equal to 4, and that the finsler structure F(u,X)F(u,X) is given as F(u,X)= \sqrt{h_{ij}(u)X^i X^j + {\cal B}(u,X)}, (u\in N, X \in T_uN) where (hij)(h_{ij}) is a Riemannian metric and B(u,X){\cal B}(u,X) is a function on TNTN with positive homogeneity of degree 2 with respect to XX. Under these assumptions, an existence and interior regularity result will be given.
