It is a very interesting problem to study the harmonic map with the Dirichlet problem. The main result is to discuss the existence of harmonic maps from the unit ball \(B^3\) into the rotational symmetric ellipsoid \(ES\) with Dirichlet boundary condition. The author obtains the existence of positive regularity of axially symmetric harmonic maps if the boundary condition satisfies some axially symmetric data. Moreover, by construction of the upper bound barrier function, the author obtains a long time solution for the heat flow for the harmonic map from \(B^3\) to the \(ES\) with boundary condition.
