The closed neighborhoodNG[e] of an edgeein a graphGis the set consisting ofeand of all edges having an end-vertex in common withe. Letfbe a function onE(G), the edge set ofG, into the set {−1, 1}. Iffor eache∈E(G), thenfis called a signed edge dominating function ofG. The signed edge domination number γs′(G) ofGis defined as $$\gamma_s^\prime(G) = {\text{min}}\{\sum_{e\in E(G)}f(e)\mid f \,\text{is an SEDF of} G\}$$. Recently, Xu proved that γs′(G) ≥ |V(G)| − |E(G)| for all graphsGwithout isolated vertices. In this paper we first characterize all simple connected graphsGfor which γs′(G) = |V(G)| − |E(G)|. This answers Problem 4.2 of [4]. Then we classify all simple connected graphsGwith preciselykcycles and γs′(G) = 1 −k, 2 −k.
