A submanifold M (connected but not necessary compact) of a Euclidean m-space Em is said to be of finite type if each component of its position vector X can be written as a finite sum of eigenfunctions of the Laplacian Δ of M, that is,

where X0 is a constant vector and ΔXt = λtXt, t = 1, 2, · · ·, k. If in particular all eigenvalues 1, λ2, · · ·, λk are mutually different, then M is said to be of k-type (cf. [3] for details).
