In this work, we introduce the harmonic generalization of the m-tuple weight enumerators of codes over finite Frobenius rings. A harmonic version of the MacWilliams-type identity for m-tuple weight enumerators of codes over finite Frobenius ring is also given. Moreover, we define the demi-matroid analogue of well-known polynomials from matroid theory, namely Tutte polynomials and coboundary polynomials, and associate them with a harmonic function. We also prove the Greene-type identity relating these polynomials to the harmonic m-tuple weight enumerators of codes over finite Frobenius rings. As an application of this Greene-type identity, we provide a simple combinatorial proof of the MacWilliams-type identity for harmonic m-tuple weight enumerators over finite Frobenius rings. Finally, we provide the structure of the relative invariant spaces containing the harmonic m-tuple weight enumerators of self-dual codes over finite fields.
