A simple variational method gives a upper bound close to that recently estimated in a mean-field calculation. It is supplemented by a lower bound provided by identities among the Hamiltonians describing the system and its subsystems.5 pages, two figures merged, refs. added, typos correctedHigh Energy Physics - Phenomenologytext
