    By using results of the author and \textit{G. Tian} (preprint) the present paper gives a new proof of the result obtained by Lin-Wang in a previous preprint, which states that if \(M\) and \(N\) are compact Riemannian manifolds and \(N\) does not carry a harmonic sphere \(S^2\), for any \(u_0\in H^{1,2}(M,N)\), then there is a stationary weak heat flow \(u(x,t)\) with initial data \(u_0\). Furthermore, \(u(x,t)\) subconverges to a stationary harmonic map.NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 0959.00021].
