rₙ(ω) = |(a,b) ∈ ℕ × ℕ : a,b ∈ ω, a+b = n, 0 < a < b|.
S. Sidon conjectured that there exists a sequence ω such that rₙ(ω) > 0 for all n sufficiently large and, for all ϵ > 0,
$lim_{n→ ∞} rₙ(ω)/n^{ϵ} = 0$.
P. Erdős proved this conjecture by showing the existence of a sequence ω of positive integers such that
log n ≪ rₙ(ω) ≪ log n.
In this paper, we prove an analogue of this conjecture in $_{q}[T]$, where $_{q}$ is a finite field of q elements. More precisely, let ω be a sequence in $_{q}[T]$. Given a polynomial $h ∈ _{q}[T]$, we define
$r_{h}(ω) = |{(f,g) ∈ _{q}[T] × _{q}[T]: f,g ∈ ω, f + g = h, deg f, deg g ≤ deg h, f ≠ g}|$.
We show that there exists a sequence ω of polynomials in $_{q}[T]$ such that
$deg h ≪ r_{h}(ω) ≪ deg h$
for deg h tending to infinity.
