Abstract(in English) Since Razborov(1985) obtained superpolynomial lower bounds for monotone circuits that detect cliques in graphs, several results has been reported to obtain an exponential lower bound for monotone circuits that compute a certain function in the various ways, e.g. Andreev(1985). Alon and Boppana(1987), Haken(1995) and Amano and Maruoka(1996). In this paper, we show that all proofs for these results employ the approximation method or can be regarded as the proofs based on this method. Moreover, the counting arguments used in those proofs are quite similar. We also show that this type of proofs is too weak to improve lower bounds for monotone circuits that detect cliques of size s, for fixed s.
