Abstract

It has been shown that every tree automatic structure admits an injective tree automatic presentation, but no good size or time bounds are known. From an arbitrary tree automatic presentation, we construct an equivalent injective one in polynomial space that consequently has exponential size. Furthermore we also prove an exponential lower bound for the size of injective tree automatic presentations.
