Whether or not a finite-dimensional, commutative, power-associative nilalgebra is solvable is a well-known open problem. In this paper, we describe commutative, power-associative nilalgebras of dimension n ≥ 6 and nilindex n − 1 based on the condition that n − 4 ≤ dim 𝔄3 ≤ n − 3. This paper is a continuation of [10 Fernadez , J. C. G. , Garcia , C. I. , Montoya , M. L. R. ( 2013 ). On power-associative nilalgebras of nilindex and dimension n . Revista Colombiana de Matemáticas 47 : 1 – 11 . [Google Scholar]], where we describe commutative power-associative nilalgebras of dimension and nilindex n. We observe that the Jordan case was obtained by L. Elgueta and A. Suazo in [2 Elgueta , L. , Suazo , A. ( 2002 ). Jordan nilalgebras of nilindex n and dimension n + 1 . Comm. Algebra 30 : 5547 – 5561 .[Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]].
