Minimal submanifolds of a Euclidean space are contained in a much larger class of submanifolds, namely in the class of submanifolds of finite type. Submanifolds of finite type were introduced about a decade ago by B. Y. Chen in [2]; the first results on this subject have been collected in the books [2], [3].
