Example 1.
First define a 2-dimensional manifold M with coordinates

On M, define a 3-dimensional Lie algebra of vector fields .

Use the InfinitesimalTransformation command to find the infinitesimal generators for this action. Note that they are precisely the vectors we began with.

We continue with Example 1 but this time present the vector fields in a different order.

In this case the adjoint representation is not upper triangular. The Action program will force us back to the basis of Example 1. This change of basis can be obtained using the output option.

This basis for the infinitesimal generators agrees with the basis whose components are given by the list B.

Example 3.
We take an example from the Lie algebras of vector fields in the paper by Gonzalez-Lopez, Kamran, Olver. The Lie algebra of vector fields in this paper are part of the DifferentialGeometry Library.
