If f0: Ω ⊂ ℝm → Sn is a weakly p-harmonic map from a bounded smooth domain Ω in ℝm (with 2 < p < m) into a sphere and if f0 is not stationary p-harmonic, then there exist infinitely many weak solutions of the p-harmonic flow with initial and boundary data f0, i.e., there are infinitely many global weak solutions f :Ω × ℝ → ⊂ Sn of

We also show that there exist non-stationary weakly (m − 1)-harmonic maps f0: Bm → Sm−1.
