Abstract: We show that the two sets of self-dual Yang-Mills equations in 8-dimensions proposed in (E.Corrigan, C.Devchand, D.B.Fairlie and J.Nuyts, {it Nuclear Physics} {�f B214}, 452-464, (1983)) form respectively elliptic and overdetermined elliptic systems under the Coulomb gauge condition. In the overdetermined case, the Yang-Mills fields can depend at most on $N$ arbitrary constants, where $N$ is the dimension of the gauge group. We describe a subvariety ${calP}_8$ of the skew-symmetric $8imes8$ matrices by an eigenvalue criterion and we show that the solutions of the elliptic equations of Corrigan et al. are among the maximal linear submanifolds of ${calP}_8$. We propose an eight order action for which the elliptic set is a maximum.
