Convergence in LB-spaces
Edit:
Let $X$ be a strict LB-space described by $\lim X_n$ and suppose that $\{x_n\}_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ converges in $X$. I'm looking for a reference showing that $x_n$ must converge in some $X_N$.

Comparison of product topology and colimit topology in sequence spaces
In Munkres Theorem 20.4 it is shown that the (relative) uniform topology induced by:
