Résumé
Abstract

Nous établissons un principe du maximum pour les solutions minimales du système $Δ u - \nabla W (u) = 0$ , dont le potentiel W s'annule à la frontière d'un ensemble fermé convexe $C_{0} \subset R^{m}$ , de classe $C^{2}$ ou réduit à un point ${a}$ .

A maximum principle is established for minimal solutions to the system $Δ u - \nabla W (u) = 0$ , with a potential W vanishing at the boundary of a closed convex set $C_{0} \subset R^{m}$ , which is either $C^{2}$ smooth or coincides with a point ${a}$ .
