(Received 12 March 1986; accepted 7 May 1986)

In order to study nonlinear ordinary differential equations with superposition principles, related to the exceptional simple Lie group G2, the complex and real forms of its Lie algebra are examined and their maximal subalgebras are summarized. In particular the parabolic subalgebras of the noncompact real form gNC2(R) are determined. Explicit matrix realizations of the fundamental representation D(1,0) are used and studied in connection with invariant subspaces in a seven‐dimensional (complex or real) vector space. The results are collected in three tables of specific interest for the study of nonlinear differential equations, which will be developed in Paper II of this series.
