Abstract:
A binary code that has the parameters and possesses the main properties of the classical r th-order Reed–Muller code RMr,m will be called an r th-order Reed–Muller like code and will be denoted by LRMr,m. The class of such codes contains the family of codes obtained by the Pulatov construction and also classical linear and Z4-linear Reed–Muller codes. We analyze the intersection problem for the Reed–Muller like codes. We prove that for any even k in the interval 0⩽k⩽22r−1∑i=0(m−1i) there exist LRMr,m codes of order r and length 2m having intersection size k. We also prove that there exist two Reed–Muller like codes of order r and length 2m whose intersection size is 2k1k2 with 1⩽ks⩽|RMr−1,m−1|, s∈{1,2}, for any admissible length starting from 16.
