    The author considers different notions of completeness in affine differential geometry. He gives an example of a spacelike surface M in \({\mathbb{R}}^ 3\), where \({\mathbb{R}}^ 3\) carries the Lorentz-Minkowski- metric, such that the induced metric on M is complete, but the equiaffine metric of M is not complete.
