Abstract The system of equations studied in this paper is −Δu i =g i (u) on ℝ d ,d≧2, withu:ℝ d →ℝ n andg i (u)=∂G/∂u i . Associated with this system is the action,S(u)=ε{1/2|∇u|2−G(u)}. Under appropriate conditions onG (which differ ford=2 andd≧3) it is proved that the system has a solution,u ≢0, of finite action and that this solution also minimizes the action within the class {v is a solution,v has finite action,v ≢0}.
