The aim of this paper is to investigate the existence of proper, weakly biharmonic maps within a family of rotationally symmetric maps ua : Bn → Sn, where Bn and Sn denote the Euclidean n-dimensional unit ball and sphere respectively. We prove that there exists a proper, weakly biharmonic map ua of this type if and only if n = 5 or n = 6. We shall also prove that these critical points are unstable.

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to investigate the existence of proper, weakly biharmonic maps within a family of rotationally symmetric maps ua : Bn → Sn, where Bn and Sn denote the Euclidean n-dimensional unit ball and sphere respectively. We prove that there exists a proper, weakly biharmonic map ua of this type if and only if n = 5 or n = 6. We shall also prove that these critical points are unstable.
