... 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...
