Abstract :
The class of quaternary Reed-Muller codes is introduced as a generalization of Reed-Muller codes to Z4-linear codes. Properties of this class of codes are established including the rank and kernel of the Gray map image of codes in this class. The class includes all Z4-linear Kerdock-like and Preparata-like codes.
