Abstract

Let k3k\geqslant 3 and let A={0=a0<a1<<ak1}A=\{0=a_{0}<a_{1}<\cdots<a_{k-1}\} with gcd(A)=1\gcd(A)=1. Freiman-Lev conjecture [V.F. Lev, Restricted set addition in groups, I. The classical setting, J. London Math. Soc. 62(2000), 27-40] is a well-known conjecture which related to restricted sumsets. Up to now, Freiman-Lev conjecture is open for all ak12k2a_{k-1}\geqslant 2k-2. In this paper, we prove the Freiman-Lev conjecture is true for ak12k2a_{k-1}\geqslant 2k-2 and ak2<2k4a_{k-2}<2k-4. That is, Freiman-Lev conjecture is still open for the case ak12k2a_{k-1}\geqslant 2k-2 and ak22k4a_{k-2}\geq 2k-4.
