It is found that the divergence of the solutions with respect to the cut-off frequency is related to the nonlinear interaction between waves with very different frequencies...

... and there are no constraints for the motion or the inputs, the maximum absorbed power can easily be found by frequency domain analysis (see, e.g., Chap. 6 of Ref. 34 ). However, constraints on motions and inputs, as well as the random nature of ocean waves, complicate the matter. Under these circumstances, the best we can do...
