     We implement the algorithm given in [deG2000] Section 6.6. Let `L`
     be a finite dimensional Lie algebra over a ring of characteristic `p`
     with basis `(b_1, \ldots, b_n)`. We compute (monic) `p`-polynomials
-    `f_i` such that `A = \mathrm{ad}(b_i)` solves `f_i(A) = 0` by using
-    minimal polynomial of `A`. The `(f_1, \ldots, f_n)` is a Gröbner basis
-    for an ideal `I` of the universal enveloping algebra `U(L)` such that
-    the quotient `U(L) / I` is a faithful representation of `L`.
