Abstract
In this paper, we consider a variant of Pillai's problem over function fields in one variable over . For given simple linear recurrence sequences and , defined over and satisfying some weak conditions, we will prove that the equation has only finitely many solutions for any non-zero , which can be effectively bounded. Furthermore, we prove that under suitable assumptions there are only finitely many effectively computable with more than one representation of the form .
