Abstract

For Banach algebras $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$, we show that if $\mathfrak{A}=\mathcal{A}\times \mathcal{B}$ is unital, then each bi-multiplicative mapping from $\mathfrak{A}$ into a semisimple commutative Banach algebra $\mathcal{D}$ is jointly continuous. This conclusion generalizes  a famous result due to
$\check{\text{S}}$ilov, concerning the automatic continuity of homomorphisms between Banach algebras. We also prove that every $n$-bi-multiplicative functionals on $\mathfrak{A}$ is continuous if and only if it is continuous for the case $n=2$.
