Given smooth (compact, if needed) Riemannian manifolds $M$ and $N$. There are at least 3 different notions of harmonic maps (shortly, HM):
weakly HM.
stationary HM.
minimizing HM.
It is well-known that a smooth weakly HM must be stationary.
Question 1: What are the difference among the 3 notions of harmonic maps?
Question 2: Given a weakly HM $u:M \rightarrow N$, if it is smooth, is it true that $u$ must be a (locally) minimizing HM? Why?
