Suppose that we have a Hausdorff locally convex space with its topology $\tau$ and let $P(X)$ be a separating family of $\tau$-continuous semi-norms so that $\tau$ is generated by $P(X)$. How do we prove the following:
If $p_1,\cdots,p_n\in P(X)$, then we can find $p\in P(X)$ and a constant $k\ge 1$ such that for each $i\in \{1,\cdots,n\}$ and each $x\in X$, we have $p_i(x)\le k\cdot p(x)$.
