These bounds are expressed in terms of the degrees of stability $s_1(E), s_2(E)$. We show also that in some cases the bounds are best possible. These results extend recent work of J. Cilleruelo and I. Sols for bundles of rank 2.15 pagesAlgebraic Geometry14H60;14F05;32L10On Clifford's theorem for rank-3 bundlestext
