Let L be a LAVF object which is a Lie algebra. Then NilpotentRadical method returns the nilpotent radical of L, as a LAVF object.

By mathematical definition, the nilpotent radical of L is the intersection of the solvable radical of L and the derived algebra of L. Note that this is not the same thing as the nilradical.

Let NPR be the nilpotent radical of a LAVF object L. Then IsReductive(L) returns true if and only if L is reductive i.e. iff NPR is trivial (i.e. IsTrivial(NPR) returns true).

These methods are associated with the LAVF object. For more detail, see Overview of the LAVF object.
