How to construct Dynkin diagrams for semisimple Lie algebras?

425 Views Asked by At

My question is: How can I construct the Dynkin diagrams of a semisimple Lie algebra $L$ which is the direct sum of simple Lie algebras, such as for example $\text {su}(2)\oplus\text{su}(2)\oplus\text{su}(2)$? Is it the combination of Dynkin diagrams of the simple Lie algebras?
