It is proved analytically that the complex growth rate n = nr + ini (nr and ni are the real and imaginary parts of n , respectively) of an arbitrary neutral or unstable oscillatory disturbance of growing amplitude in rotatory electrothermoconvection in a dielectric fluid layer saturating a sparsely distributed porous medium heated from below, for the case of free boundaries, is located inside a semicircle in the right half of the nrni − plane, whose centre is at the origin and radius =
