Abstract
Let be a non-isotrivial rational function in one-variable with coefficients in and assume that is not a post-critical point for . Then we prove that the diophantine approximation exponent of elements of are eventually bounded above by . To do this, we mix diophantine techniques in characteristic with the adelic equidistribution of small points in Berkovich space. As an application, we deduce a form of Silverman's celebrated limit theorem in this setting. Namely, if we take any wandering point and write for some coprime polynomials , then we prove that
