There are none. There are some things hard to understand and especially many deep spiritual truths, but no contradictions. Since Luke, like the rest of scripture is divinely inspired, God knew what He wanted written through the mind and pen of Luke. He did not forget as He went nor did He contradict what He said previously in other places.

One thing that is sometimes forgotten is that the New Testament, indeed the whole Bible is written for believers and for those seeking truth. If we believe that many things written in it are impossible due to our presuppositions then much of The Bible will be for us untrue. In such a case where we believe our ideas to be superior to God and His self-revelation then there will be masses, indeed mountains of contradictions.

The contradictions in this case will not, however be those in the text itself, but arising from our own attitude which is not subject and submitted to God's will.

12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

This describes how many contradictions are not contradictions but merely out of context quotations.

If the Author of Luke and Acts is one and the same then why are there contradictions between the two books?

PROVISIONAL ANSWER: Certainly the author of both Luke and Acts are one and the same. Certainly there are differences in some details in the two books. It is not certain that these logically constitute contradictions if taken in context. Thus the question itself is somewhat of a leading question which assumes something which is not at all proven. Differences do not necessarily constitute contradiction. Details of these alleged contradictions would need to be provided to answer the question more fully.

Is disregarding contradictions as being disregardable a paradox when attempting to establish meaning logically?

Yes, considering contradictions as disregardable in the pursuit of logical meaning can be seen as contradictory and paradoxical. This approach undermines the fundamental principles of logic, as contradictions are typically viewed as disruptive to logical reasoning and coherence. By accepting contradictions as acceptable in this context, the attempt to establish meaning logically becomes inherently flawed.
