In this paper, we consider the problem of finding the hypersurface Mn in the Euclidean (n + 1)-space ℝn+1 that satisfies an equation of mean curvature type, called singular minimal hypersurface equation. Such an equation physically characterizes the surfaces in the upper half-space ℝ+3 (u) with lowest gravity center, for a fixed unit vector u ∈ ℝ3. We first state that a singular minimal cylinder Mn in ℝn+1 is either a hyperplane or a α-catenary cylinder. It is also shown that this result remains true when Mn is a translation hypersurface and u is a horizantal vector. As a further application, we prove that a singular minimal translation graph in ℝ3 of the form z = f(x) + g(y + cx), c ∈ ℝ - {0}, with respect to a certain horizantal vector u is either a plane or a α-catenary cylinder.

In the present paper, we study translation hypersurfaces in E⁴. In this context, firstly we obtain first, second and third Laplace-Beltrami (LB^I, LB^II and LB^III) operators of the translation hypersurfaces in E⁴. By solving second and third order nonlinear ordinary differential equations, we prove theorems that contain LB^I-minimal, LB^II-minimal and LB^III-minimal translation hypersurfaces in E⁴.
