The notion of sequential topological algebra was introduced by this author and Ng [3], Among a number of results concerning these algebras, we showed that each multiplicative linear functional on a sequentially complete, sequential, locally convex algebra is bounded ([3], Theorem 1). From this it follows that every multiplicative linear functional on a sequential F-algebra (complete metrizable) is continuous ([3], Corollary 2).
