ON THE CALCULATION OF MAXIMA OF NON-LINEAR WAVE FORCES AND WAVE INDUCED MOTIONS

The statistical distribution of the individual maxima of stationary, nonlinear second order stochastic processes with a Gaussian first order solution is given. The distribution is found in terms of an Edgworth-series expansion. This series expansion is in consistence with the perturbation method, which the calculation is based on. All the cumulants are given in form of integrals, which as far as the author knows, has not been done before.
