Abstract. Over a field of characteristic 0, the reduced Gröbner-Shirshov bases (RGShB) are computed in the positive part D + n of the simple finite-dimensional Lie algebra D n for the canonical generators corresponding to simple roots, under an arbitrary ordering of these generators (i.e., an aritrary basis among the n! bases is fixed and analyzed). In this setting, the RGShBs were previously computed by the author for the Lie algebras A + n , B + n , and C + n . For one ordering of the generators, the RGShBs of these algebras were calculated by Bokut and Klein (1996).
