ABSTRACT: The authors have recently completed a partial classification of the ten-dimensional real Lie algebras that have the non-trivial Levi decomposition, namely, for such algebras whose semi-simple factor is so(3). In the present paper, we obtain a matrix representation for each of these Lie algebras. We are able to find such representations by exploiting properties of the radical, principally, when it has a trivial center, in which case we can obtain such a representation by restricting the adjoint representation. Another important subclass of algebras is where the radical has a codimension one abelian nilradical and for which a representation can readily be found. In general, finding matrix representations for abstract Lie algebras is difficult and there is no algorithmic process, nor is it at all easy to program by computer, even for algebras of low dimension. The present paper represents another step in our efforts to find linear representations for all the low dimensional abstract Lie algebras.
