We prove that minimizers $u ∈ W^{1,n}$ of the functional $E_{𝜀}(u) = 1/n ∫_𝛺 |∇u|^{n} dx + 1/(4𝜀^{n}) ∫_𝛺 (1-|u|^{2})^{2} dx$, 𝛺 ⊂ $ℝ^{n}$, n ≥ 3, which satisfy the Dirichlet boundary condition $u_{𝜀} = g$ on 𝜕𝛺 for g:𝜕𝛺 → $S^{n-1}$ with zero topological degree, converge in $W^{1,n}$ and $C^α_{loc}$ for any α<1 - upon passing to a subsequence $𝜀_{k} → 0$ - to some minimizing n-harmonic map. This is a generalization of an earlier result obtained for n=2 by Bethuel, Brezis, and Hélein. An example of nonunique asymptotic behaviour (which cannot occur in two dimensions if deg g = 0) is presented.

We consider a class of fourth order elliptic systems which include the Euler-Lagrange equations of biharmonic mappings in dimension 4 and we prove that a weak limit of weak solutions to such systems is again a weak solution to a limit system.
