The graph of a functionfdefined in some open set of the Euclidean space of dimension (p+q) is said to be a translation graph iffmay be expressed as the sum of two independent functionsϕandψdefined in open sets of the Euclidean spaces of dimensionpandq, respectively. We obtain a useful expression for the mean curvature of the graph offin terms of the Laplacian, the gradient ofϕandψas well as of the mean curvatures of their graphs. We study translation graphs having zero mean curvature, that is, minimal translation graphs, by imposing natural conditions onϕandψ, like harmonicity, minimality and eikonality (constant norm of the gradient), giving several examples as well as characterization results.
