Abstract: In this paper, we investigate minimizing properties of the map $x/|x|$ from the Euclidean unit ball $mathbf{B}^n$ to its boundary $mathbb{S}^{n-1}$, for the weighted energy functionals $E_{p,alpha}^n(u)=in{t}_{mathbf{B}^n}|x{|}^{alpha}|ablau{|}^{p}dx$. We establish the following induction principle: if the map $fracx|x|:mathbf{B}^{n+1}omathbb{S}^n$ minimizes $E_{p,alpha}^{n+1}$ among the maps $u:mathbf{B}^{n+1}omathbb{S}^n$ satisfying $u(x)=x$ on $mathbb{S}^n$, then the map $fracy|y|:mathbf{B}^{n}omathbb{S}^{n-1}$ minimizes $E_{p,alpha+1}^n$ among the maps $v:mathbf{B}^{n}omathbb{S}^{n-1}$ satisfying $v(y)=y$ on $mathbb{S}^{n-1}$. This result enables us to enlarge the range of values of $p$ and $alpha$ for which $x/|x|$ minimizes $E_{p,alpha}^n$.
