What is it about?
Let $ \{P_{n}\}_{n\geq 0} $ be the sequence of Padovan numbers defined by $ P_0=0 $, $ P_1 =1, ~P_2=1$, and $ P_{n+3}= P_{n+1} +P_n$ for all $ n\geq 0 $. In this paper, we find all integers $ c $ admitting at least two representations as a difference between a Padovan number and a power of $ 3 $.
