The effect of resonant absorption of long waves by the oscillator of little sizes is investigated analytically
and numerically. This effect means that absorption cross-section of the oscillator (monopole, dipole...) is defined by
wavelength absorbed only, and does not depend on wave geometrical dimensions (much smaller, than the
wavelength absorbed) of the oscillator. The expression of optimum amplitudes of excitation of the group of degrees
of freedom (or oscillators) in the boundary problem of general type is obtained in the form of generalized velocities
and generalized forces. Using linear microstructures (formed by monopoles, which are located on the axis
periodically) we investigated the possibility to achieve maximum absorption cross-section of the acoustic waves by
these microstructures of small wave dimensions. We consider the examples of linear microstructures, which provide
unlimited logarithmic, linear and square growing of the total absorption cross-section, with growing of the quantity
of elements (monopoles) in the linear microstructure with wave dimensions remaining small. The examples of
cooperative and the individual strategies of absorbing oscillators are also compared.
