Variation methods, originally developed for deriving stability criteria from the energy principle, are well suited for obtaining bounds for the maximum growth rate from a modified energy principle. An upper bound is derived which corresponds to a sufficient stability criterion, and a lower bound is derived which corresponds to a necessary criterion. Each of these bounds equals the actual maximum growth rate in special cases.
