Example 1.
In this example we shall check that the output of LeviDecomposition does indeed lead to a Levi decomposition of the algebra. First we initialize a 6 dimensional Lie algebra and display the Lie bracket multiplication table.

So the radical of this Lie algebra is span and the semi-simple part is span. We can check this result by [i] calculating the radical directly, [ii] checking that R is an ideal, [iii] checking that R is solvable and [iv] checking that S is a semisimple subalgebra.

The first step in transforming the algebra Alg1 to canonical form is to change the basis of the Lie algebra to that provided by the Levi decomposition.
