Abstract
Formulas for the distributions of split weights (w L , w R ) of Reed-Muller codes are presented for w L +w r less than twice the minimum weight d min. A canonical form for all the relevant Boolean polynomials is derived. These results are applied to analyzing the structure and complexity of subtrellises of codewords of weights less than 2d min of Reed-Muller codes.
