摘要：
In this paper, we show the following result: Let Ki be a knot in a closed orientable 3-manifold Mi such that (Mi,Ki) is not homeomorphic to (S2 ×S1, x0 ×S1), i = 1, 2. Suppose that the Euler Characteristic of any meridional essential surface in each knot complement E(Ki) is less than the difference of one and twice of the tunnel number of Ki. Then the tunnel number of their connected sum will not go down. If in addition that the distance of any minimal Heegaard splitting of each knot complement is strictly more than 2, then the tunnel number of their connected sum is super additive.
