Abstract: A study of the set N_p of positive integers which occur as orders of nonsingular derivations of finite-dimensional non-nilpotent Lie algebras of characteristic p>0 was initiated by Shalev and continued by the present author. The main goal of this paper is to show the abundance of elements of N_p. Our main result shows that any divisor n of q-1, where q is a power of p, such that nge(p1)1/p(q1)11/(2p), belongs to N_p. This extends its special case for p=2 which was proved in a previous paper by a different method.
