Abstract: For an adjoint action of a Lie group $G$ (or its subgroup) on Lie algebra Lie $(G)$ we suggest a method for construction of invariants. The method is easy in implementation and may shed the light on algebraical independence of invariants. The main idea is to extent automorphisms of the Cartan subalgebra to automorphisms of the whole Lie algebra Lie $(G)$. Corresponding matrices in a linear space $V\cong\operatorname{Lie}(G)$ define a Reynolds operator “gathering” invariants of torus $\mathcal T\subset G$ into special polynomials. A condition for a linear combination of polynomials to be $G$-invariant is equivalent to the existence of a solution for a certain system of linear equations on the coefficients in the combination.
As an example we consider the adjoint action of the Lie group $\operatorname{SL}(3)$ (and its subgroup $\operatorname{SL}(2)$) on the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{sl}(3)$.

Key words and phrases: Lie algebras, invariant ring for a Lie group, Weyl group, Reynolds operator, Molien function.
