Some new results concerning lower bounds for the complexity of monotone circuits that detect cliques in graphs are obtained using modified versions of known methods. It is shown that even a very rough approximation of the maximum clique size of a graph, requires superpolynomial size of monotone circuits. Also, lower bounds are given for some Boolean functions and a largest lower bound for an NP-function of n variables is obtained.
