Abstract
We treat the possible Lie superalgebras where in addition to Poincaré generators there are n supergenerators. These superalgebras are determined with the help of relativistic wave equations. It is shown that structure constants are connected with the matrices of first-order relativistic wave equations. Some of these Lie superalgebras may be interesting from mathematical point of view.
