The main purpose of this paper is to investigate some topological properties of the double multiplier algebra on a topological algebra. Let M d ( A ) be the double multiplier algebra on a topological algebra A , and let u and s be the uniform and strong operator topologies on M d ( A ) , respectively. It is shown, under some additional hypotheses on A , that
(1) M d ( A ) is u - and s -complete;
(2) A is a u -closed two-sided ideal in M d ( A ) ;
(3) A is s -dense in M d ( A ) ;
(4) s and u have the same bounded sets;
(5) each continuous onto homomorphism ϕ : A → B has a unique extension ϕ ˜ : ( M d ( A ) , s A ) → ( M d ( B ) , s B ) .
