Abstract: An integral quadratic polynomial is called regular if it represents every integer that is represented by the polynomial itself over the reals and over the $p$-adic integers for every prime $p$. It is called complete if it is of the form $Q(mathbfx+mathbfv)$, where $Q$ is an integral quadratic form in the variables $mathbfx=(x_1,ldots,x_n)$ and $mathbfv$ is a vector in ${mathbbQ}^n$. Its conductor is defined to be the smallest positive integer $c$ such that $cmathbfvin{mathbbZ}^n$. We prove that for a fixed positive integer $c$, there are only finitely many equivalence classes of positive primitive ternary regular complete quadratic polynomials with conductor $c$. This generalizes the analogous finiteness results for positive definite regular ternary quadratic forms by Watson and for ternary triangular forms by Chan and Oh.
