Abstract
Let Mi be a compact orientable 3-manifold, and Ai an incompressible annulus on a component Fi of ∂Mi , i = 1, 2. Suppose A1 is separating on F1 and A2 is non-separating on F2. Let M be the annulus sum of M1 and M2 along A1 and A2. In the present paper we show that if Mi has a Heegaard splitting Vi ≊Si Wi with Heegaard distance d(Si ) ≥ 2g(Mi ) + 5 for i = 1, 2, then g(M) = g(M1) + g(M2). Moreover, when g(F2) ≥ 2, the minimal Heegaard splitting of M is unique up to isotopy.
