Translation surfaces of linear Weingarten type

Abstract: We give a relatively simple proof that a translation surface in Euclidean space that satisfies a relation of type aH+bK=c, for some real numbers a,b,c, where H and K are the mean curvature and the Gauss curvature of the surface, respectively, must have a=0 or b=0, and thus, K is constant or H is constant. Our method of proof extends to the Lorentzian ambient space.
