The authors prove results on the number of solutions to Pillai's Diophantine equation \\(Aa^x-Bb^y=c\\) in positive unknown integers \\(x\\) and \\(y\\). Their first result is   Theorem 1. Let \\({\\mathcal S}\\) be the set of nonzero integers whose prime factors belong to some fixed finite set of prime numbers. Let also \\(b\\) be a fixed nonzero integer. Then the Diophantine equation   \\[  A(a^{x_1}-a^{x_2})=B (b^{y_1}-b^{y_2})  \\]   in positive unknown integers \\(A\\), \\(B\\), \\(a\\), \\(x_1\\), \\(x_2\\), \\(y_1\\), \\(y_2\\) has only finitely many solutions with \\(x_1 \\not= x_2\\), \\(A\\), \\(B\\in {\\mathcal S}\\) and \\(\\gcd(aA,bB)=1\\). The proof of this result uses applications of (Archimedian and non-Archimedian) linear forms in logarithms, Ridout's theorem and the general Subspace Theorem.   A second result is   Theorem 2. The ABC conjecture implies that the Diophantine equation   \\[  a^{x_1}-a^{x_2}=b^{y_1}-b^{y_2}  \\]   has only finitely many positive integer solutions \\((a, b, x_1, x_2, y_1, y_2)\\) with \\(a>1\\), \\(b>1\\), \\(x_1 \\not= x_2\\) and \\(a^{x_1}\\not=b^{y_1}\\).   To prove Theorem 2 they also prove an intermediate unconditional result   Theorem 3. Assume that \\(x_1> x_2>0\\) and \\(y_1> y_2>0\\) are fixed integers with \\(\\gcd(x_1,x_2)=\\gcd(y_1,y_2)=1\\) and \\(y_1>x_1\\).
