| contents | Let $G$ be a finite abelian group and $S$ a sequence with elements of $G$. Let $|S|$ denote the length of $S$ and $\mathrm{supp}(S)$ the set of all the distinct terms in $S$. For an integer $k$ with $k\in [1, |S|]$, let $Σ_{k}(S) \subset G$ denote the set of group elements which can be expressed as a sum of a subsequence of $S$ with length $k$. Let $Σ(S)=\cup_{k=1}^{|S|}Σ_{k}(S)$ and $Σ_{\geq k}(S)=\cup_{t=k}^{|S|}Σ_{t}(S)$. It is known that if $0\not\in Σ(S)$, then $|Σ(S)|\geq |S|+|\mathrm{supp}(S)|-1$. In this paper, we determine the structure of a sequence $S$ satisfying $0\notin Σ(S)$ and $|Σ(S)|= |S|+|\mathrm{supp}(S)|-1$. As a consequence, we can give a counterexample of a conjecture of Gao, Grynkiewicz, and Xia. Moreover, we prove that if $|S|>k$ and $0\not\in Σ_{\geq k}(S)\cup \mathrm{supp}(S)$, then $|Σ_{\geq k}(S)|\geq |S|-k+|\mathrm{supp}(S)|$. Then we can give an alternative proof of a conjecture of Hamidoune, which was first proved by Gao, Grynkiewicz, and Xia. |
