  exists.  These  automorphisms  can be compared, multiplied using the [3X*[103X sign,

  [1X3.5 [33X[0;0YAutomorphism group and isomorphism testing[133X[101X

  [33X[1;0Y[29X[2XAutomorphismGroupNilpotentLieAlgebra[102X( [3XL[103X ) [32X method[133X
  
  [33X[0;0Y[3XL[103X  is  a  nilpotent  Lie algebra; returns the automorphism group of [3XL[103X in the
  internally  used  hybrid  format.  The  automorphism  group  is  computed as
  explained in [Sch]. The hybrid format, which is very similar to the one used
  in [EO], is a record that contains the following fields.[133X
  
  [30X    [33X[0;6Y[10XglAutos[110X:  a  set of automorphisms which together with [10XagAutos[110X generate
        the automorphism group;[133X
  
  [30X    [33X[0;6Y[10XglOrder[110X:  an  integer  whose product with the numbers in [10XagOrder[110X gives
        the size of the automorphism group;[133X
  
  [30X    [33X[0;6Y[10XagAutos[110X:  a  polycyclic  generating  sequence  for  a  soluble  normal
        subgroup of the automorphism group;[133X
  
  [30X    [33X[0;6Y[10XagOrder[110X: the relative orders corresponding to [10XagAutos[110X;[133X

  [30X    [33X[0;6Y[10Xsize[110X: the size of the automorphism group.[133X

  [30X    [33X[0;6Y[10Xprime[110X: the characteristic of the underlying field.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YWe  do not return an automorphism group in the standard form because we wish
  to  distinguish between [10XagAutos[110X and [10XglAutos[110X; the latter act non-trivially on
  the derived quotient of [22XL[122X. This hybrid-group description of the automorphism
  group permits more efficient computations with it.[133X

  [33X[0;0YReturns  the  [9X1[109X-step descendants of the abelian Lie algebra with dimension [3Xd[103X

  lists  of  Lie  algebras. Here we document only the most important ones, see

  [33X[0;0YDecodes  [3Xstring[103X  into a [3Xd[103X-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebra defined over the
  field of [3Xp[103X elements.[133X
  
  [1X3.7-3 WriteLieAlgebraListToFile[101X
  
  [33X[1;0Y[29X[2XWriteLieAlgebraListToFile[102X( [3Xlist[103X, [3Xname[103X, [3Xfile[103X ) [32X function[133X
  
  [33X[0;0Y[3Xlist[103X  is  a list of nilpotent Lie algebras. Encodes each Lie algebra in [3Xlist[103X
  to  a  string.  The  list so obtained is written into [3Xfile[103X. The name of this
  list will be [3Xname[103X.[133X
