We prove a characteristic \(p\) version of a theorem of Silverman on integral points in orbits over number fields and establish a primitive prime divisor theorem for polynomials in this setting. In characteristic \(p\), the Thue-Siegel-Dyson-Roth theorem is false, so the proof requires different techniques than those used by Silverman. This represent joint work with Alex Carney and Wade Hindes.
