A note on filled groups
Abstract
Let be a finite group and a subset of . Then is {\em product-free} if , and {\em fills} if . A product-free set is locally maximal if it is not contained in a strictly larger product-free set. Street and Whitehead [J. Combin. Theory Ser. A \textbf{17} (1974), 219--226] defined a group as {\em filled} if every locally maximal product-free set in fills . Street and Whitehead classified all abelian filled groups, and conjectured that the finite dihedral group of order is not filled when (). The conjecture was disproved by the current authors in [Austral. Journal of Combinatorics \textbf{63 (3)} (2015), 385--398], where we also classified the filled groups of odd order. This brief note completes the classification of filled dihedral groups and discusses filled groups of order up to 100.
