This family of codes share a common algebraic formalism with the well-known Reed-Muller codes, which involves monomial evaluations. As useful algebraic codes, more specifically known as decreasing monomial codes, a lot of decoding work has been done on Reed-Muller codes based on their rich code automorphisms. In 2021, a new permutation gro…
