Given an arbitrary initial distribution function of a collisionless self-gravitating system, consideration is given to the problem of how to construct the lowest energy state that is accessible under the constraints of conservation of phase-space density and total angular momentum. The energy difference between the initial state and the lowest energy state has to be converted from nonequilibrium energy into equilibrium energy by phase-mixing. Upper and lower bounds for that energy are determined, considering systems with nonvanishing total angular momentum.
