This result leads us to a more general notion of a compressibility rate defined for FA–presentations of any FA–presentable structure. We show the existence of FA–presentations for the configuration space of a Turing machine and Cayley graphs of some groups for which it grows faster than any tower of exponents of a fixed height. For FA–presentations of the Presburger arithmetic (N;+) we show that it is bounded from above by a linear function.Computer ScienceString compression in FA–presentable structuresArticleSCOPUS10.1016/j.tcs.2023.1137052-s2.0-85146847916
