Abstract
In this paper, we compute minimal faithful representations of filiform Lie algebras by means of strictly upper-triangular matrices. To obtain such representations, we use nilpotent Lie algebras [Formula: see text]n, of n × n strictly upper-triangular matrices, because any given (filiform) nilpotent Lie algebra [Formula: see text] admits a Lie-algebra isomorphism with a subalgebra of [Formula: see text]n for some n ∈ ℕ\{1}. In this sense, we search for the lowest natural integer n such that the Lie algebra [Formula: see text]n contains the filiform Lie algebra [Formula: see text] as a subalgebra. Additionally, we give a representative of each representation.
