Restricted Erdős–Heilbronn formula for abelian groups

Let GG be an abelian group, and let pp be the smallest prime divisor of the order of GG. For positive integers mm and hh with mpm\leq p, write ρ  ^(G,m,h)\rho\hat{\;} (G,m,h) for the minimum size of a restricted hh-fold sumset of an mm-element subset. Restricted Erdős–Heilbronn conjecture.

ρ  ^(G,m,h)=min{p,hmh2+1}.\rho \hat{\;} (G,m,h)=\min\{p,hm-h^2+1\}.

The formula is known for groups of prime order, while the corresponding statement for general abelian groups is presented as a potential next case and remains open.
