Abstract
Let be an additive abelian group and a subset. Let denote the set of group elements which can be expressed as a sum of a nonempty subset of . We say is zero-sum free if . It was conjectured by R.B.~Eggleton and P.~Erd\"{o}s in 1972 and proved by W.~Gao et. al. in 2008 that provided that is a zero-sum free subset of an abelian group with . In this paper, we determined the structure of zero-sum free set where and .
