Abstract: We consider the problem $minin{t}_{mathbbR}frac12|dotgamma{|}^2+W(gamma)mathopmathopenmathrmdt$ among curves connecting two given wells of $Wgeq0$ and we reduce it, following a standard method, to a geodesic problem of the form $minin{t}_0^{1}K(gamma)|dotgamma|mathopmathopenmathrmdt$ with $K=sqrt2W$. We then prove existence of curves minimizing this new action just by proving that the distance induced by $K$ is proper (i.e. its closed balls are compact). The assumptions on $W$ are minimal, and the method seems robust enough to be applied in the future to some PDE problems.
