Abstract
A classical solution for a magnetic monopole is found in a specific multi-vector boson theory. We consider the model whose gauge group is broken by sigma-model fields (\`a la dimensional deconstruction) and further spontaneously broken by an adjoint scalar (\`a la triplet Higgs mechanism). In this multi-vector boson theory, we find the solution for the monopole whose mass is , where is the common gauge coupling constant and is the vacuum expectation value of the triplet Higgs field, by using a variational method with the simplest set of test functions.
