3.2. HARMONIC MAPS BETWEEN DAMEK-RICCI SPACES 71<br />

By virtue <strong>of</strong> [25, Lemma 5.1], we have<br />

‖v t (x, t)‖ ≤c 1 e −c 2t<br />

for some constants c 1 ,c 2 > 0. Then for any T>0<br />

d S ′(u(x),h(x)) ≤<br />

∫ ∞<br />

‖v t (x, t)‖dt ≤<br />

≤ ce −εr(x) T + c 1 e −c2T .<br />

Choosing T = εr, we get<br />

∫ T<br />

‖v t (x, t)‖dt +<br />

∫ ∞<br />

0<br />

T<br />

‖v t (x, t)‖dt<br />

ce −εr(x) T and c 1 e −c 2T → 0<br />

as r →∞.<br />

Therefore, d S ′(u(x),h(x)) → 0asx → ∂S and u = h = f at the ideal boundary.<br />

Note. Our result remains true, with necessary modifications, when the target manifold is<br />

replaced by the real hyperbolic space.
