Abstract
In the paper, we give a lower bound on the genus of an amalgamation of two Heegaard splittings V1, S1, W1 for M1 and V2, S2, W2 for M2 along boundary components F1 and F2 under some conditions on the distances of the factor Heegaard splittings. A direct consequence is that under some circumstances, g(M) = g(M1) + g(M2) g(F) holds, and another is that under some circumstances we have a better lower bound.
