摘　　要：Let S be a primitive non-powerful symmetric loop-free signed digraph on even n vertices with base 3 and minimum number of arcs. In [Lihua YOU, Yuhan WU. Primitive non- powerful symmetric loop-free signed digraphs with given base and minimum number of arcs. Linear Algebra Appl., 2011, 434（5）, 1215-1227], authors conjectured that D is the underlying digraph of S with exp（D）= 3 if and only if D is isomorphic to EDn,3,3, where EDn,3,3 = （V, A） is a digraph with V = {1, 2,..., n}, A = {（1, i）, （i, 1） [ 3 〈： i 〈 n} U {（2i - 1, 2i）, （2i, 2i - 1） [ 2 〈 〈 2} U {（2, 3）, （3, 2）, （2, 4）, （4, 2）}）. In this paper, we show the conjecture is true and completely characterize the underlying digraphs which have base 3 and the minimum number of arcs.Let S be a primitive non-powerful symmetric loop-free signed digraph on even n vertices with base 3 and minimum number of arcs.
