    The authors study Novikov structures on finite-dimensional Lie algebras. They show that a Lie algebra admitting a Novikov structure must be solvable. An example is given of a nilpotent two-step solvable Lie algebra without any Novikov structure. The authors construct Novikov structures on certain Lie algebras via classical r-matrices and via extensions. In the latter case the Novikov structures on an abelian Lie algebra \(A\) and a Lie algebra \(B\) are lifted to certain extensions of \(B\) by \(A\). The authors apply this to prove the existence of affine and Novikov structures on several classes of two-step solvable Lie algebras. In particular, they generalize a well known result of Scheuneman concerning affine structures on three-step nilpotent Lie algebras.
