Abstract

An open problem in affine geometry is whether an affine complete locally uniformly convex hypersurface in Euclidean (n + 1)-space is Euclidean complete for n ≥ 2. In this paper we give the affirmative answer. As an application, it follows that an affine complete, affine maximal surface in R³ must be an elliptic paraboloid.
