The affine Bernstein conjecture asks whether an entire smooth locally uniformly convex solution of the affine
maximal equation must be a quadratic polynomial.
Local uniform convexity here means that the Hessian is
positive definite at every point;
a uniform lower bound on all of is not assumed.
For the graph of a solution , the induced Riemannian metric
is
.
Euclidean completeness is different from completeness in the affine metric
