Extract

Let L be a Lie ring and denote the product of x and y in L by [x, y]. The ring L is said to satisfy the Engel condition (cf. (1)), if for every pair of elements x, yεL there is an integer k = k(x, y)such that

If k(x, y) can be taken equal to a fixed integer n for all x, y ε L then L is said to satisfy the n-th Engel condition.
