Abstract
A one-dimensional Hubbard model with nearest and (negative) next-nearest neighbour hopping is studied variationally. This allows to exclude saturated ferromagnetism for $U < U_c$. The variational boundary $U_c (n)$ has a minimum at a ``critical density'' $n_c$ and diverges for $n \rightarrow 1$.
