- In Kac's classification of finite-dimensional Lie superalgebras, the contragredient ones can be constructed from Dynkin diagrams similar to those of the simple finite-dimensional Lie algebras, but with additional types of nodes. For example, A(n-1,0) = s (1|n) can be constructed by adding a "gray" node to the Dynkin diagram of An-1 = s (n), corresponding to an odd null root. The Cartan superalgebras constitute a difierent class, where the simplest example is Wpnq, the derivation algebra of the Grassmann algebra on n generators. Here we present a novel construction of Wpnq, from the same Dynkin diagram as A(n-1,0), but with additional generators and relations.

- We give an analog of a Chevalley-Serre presentation for the Lie superalgebras W(n) and S(n) of Cartan type. These are part of a wider class of Lie superalgebras, the so-called tensor hierarchy algebras, denoted W(g) and S(g), where g denotes the Kac-Moody algebra A(r), D-r or E-r. Then W(A(n-1)) and S(A(n-1)) are the Lie superalgebras W(n) and S(n). The algebras W(g) and S(g) are constructed from the Dynkin diagram of the Borcherds-Kac-Moody superalgebras B(g) obtained by adding a single grey node (representing an odd null root) to the Dynkin diagram of g. We redefine the algebras W(A(r)) and S(A(r)) in terms of Chevalley generators and defining relations. We prove that all relations follow from the defining ones at level >= -2. The analogous definitions of the algebras in the D- and E-series are given. In the latter case the full set of defining relations is conjectured.
