An \(n\)-Lie algebra \(L\) in the sense of V. Philippov (V. Filippov) is a vector space with an \(n\)-multilinear operation of multiplication \([x_1,\ldots,x_n]\) such that \[ \begin{aligned} [x_{\sigma 1},\ldots,x_{\sigma n}] &=\text{sgn}(\sigma)[x_1,\ldots,x_n];\\ [[x_1,\ldots,x_n],y_2,\ldots,y_n]&= \sum_{i=1}^{n-1}[x_1,\ldots,[x_i,y_2,\ldots,y_n],x_{i+1},\ldots,x_n].\end{aligned} \] If \(a\in L\) then \(L_a\) is an \((n-1)\)-Lie algebra \(L\) with a new multiplication \[ [x_1,\ldots,x_{n-1}]=[a,x_1,\ldots,x_{n-1}]. \] For any \(k=1,\ldots,n\) and an ideal \(I\) in \(L\) the author introduces induction on \(s\) and the notion of an ideal \(I^{s,k}\) as follows: \(I^{0,k}=I\) and \( I^{s+1,k}=[I^{s,k},\ldots, I^{s,k},L,\ldots,L]. \) So one can introduce notions of \(k\)-solvable ideals and of \(k\)-semisimple algebras. It is shown that if \(L_a\) is \(k\)-semisimple then \(L\) is also \(k\)-semisimple. If \(L\) has finite dimension \(m\) over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and \(L\) is semisimple, then the algebras \(L_i, 1\leq i\leq m,\) which are obtained by fixing elements of a basis of \(L\) are simple and isomorphic. A converse statement is discussed and an analog of a Malcev-Levi theorem is proved.
