Abstract
For a fixed prime p, let Cp denote the complex p-adic numbers. For polynomials A, B ε C p [x] we consider decompositions A (x) f2 (x) + B (x) g2 (x) = 1 of entire functions f, g on C p and try to improve an impossibility result due to A. Boutabaa concerning transcendental f, g. We also provide a new proof of a p-adic diophantic statement due to D. N. Clark, which is an important ingredient of Boutabaa’s method.
