The best such function is produced here in a reasonably efficient way from a {\it lex} Gröbner basis. This {\it lex} basis is, in turn, produced efficiently from a weighted, {\it grevlex} basis by using the FGLM algorithm. These two steps essentially complete the efficient decoding scheme based on a Forney formula started in the author’s previous work [ibid. 42, 1263-1268 (1996; Zbl 0864.94036)]. rv:
