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 particular, 1) when k = 0, since the digraphs reduce to be acyclic, our result reduces to the main theorem obtained recently in [1] stating that, for each n = 1, 2, 3, …, the number of acyclic digraphs is equal to the number of n × n (0,1)-matrices whose eigenvalues are positive real numbers;and 2) when k = n, the digraphs are the Hamiltonian directed cycles and it, therefore, generates another well-known (and trivial) result: the eigenvalues of a Hamiltonian directed cycle with n vertices are the nth unit roots [2].展开更多
