Let A be a subset of the polynomials of degree less than N over a finite field q . Let r be any nonzero element of q . We show that if the difference set A − A does not contain elements of the form P + r , where P is a monic, irreducible polynomial, then | A |⩽ C q N − c ( N /log N ) , where C and c are constants depending only on q .
