  We present an analytic description of the finite-temperature phase diagram of
the Bose-Hubbard model, successfully describing the physics of cold bosonic
atoms trapped in optical lattices and superlattices. Based on a standard
statistical mechanics approach, we provide the exact expression for the
boundary between the superfluid and the normal fluid by solving the
self-consistency equations involved in the mean-field approximation to the
Bose-Hubbard model. The zero-temperature limit of such result supplies an
analytic expression for the Mott lobes of superlattices, characterized by a
critical fractional filling.
