Abstract: Let $n$ be a positive integer, and let $A$ be a set of $kge2n-1$ integers. For the restricted sumset ${\displaystyle }$ S_n(A)={a_1+cdots +a_n: a_1,ldots,a_nin A, ext{and} a_i^2 eq a_j^2 ext{for} 1le i<jle n}, ${\displaystyle }$ by a 2002 result of Liu and Sun we have ${\displaystyle }$|S_n(A)|ge (k-1)n-frac 32n(n-1)+1.${\displaystyle }$ In this paper, we determine the structure of $A$ when the lower bound is attained.
