- Let V_m be the m-dimensional vector space over GF(2), so V_m contains
- all then (0,1)-vectors of length m. Let n:=2^m and let u_0,...,u_{n-1}
- be all elements of V_m in lexicographical order, u_i=(x_1,...,x_m),
- i=0,...,n-1.
-
- Then the r-th order Reed-Muller code of length m is defined by
-
- RM(r,m) = {(f(u_0),f(u_1),...,f(u_{n-1}))|degree(f)<=r}
-
- where f is a polynomial in x_1,...,x_m.
-
- The automorphism group Aut(RM(r,m)) of RM(r,m) contains the group of
- invertible affine transformations of V_m, denoted by GA(m,2).
- For r<m-1 we even have: Aut(RM(r,m))=GA(m,2).
-
- For the Reed-Muller code RM(3,6) I would like to know the orbits under
- GA(m,2). More in particular I would like to know the cardinality of the
- orbits, and a code word in each orbit.
-
- Any help or reference is much appreciated.
- Thanks in advance,
