Abstract

We investigate thin-slit diffraction problems for two-dimensional lattice waves. The peculiar structure allows us to consider the problems on the semi-infinite triangular lattice, consequently, we study Dirichlet problems for the two-dimensional discrete Helmholtz equation in a half-plane. In view of the existence and uniqueness of the solution, we provide new results for the real wave number k(0,3)\{22}k\in (0,3)\backslash\{2\sqrt{2}\} without passing to the complex wave number and derive an exact representation formula for the solution. For this purpose, we use the notion of the radiating solution. Finally, we propose a method for numerical calculation. The efficiency of our approach is demonstrated in an example related to the propagation of wave fronts in metamaterials through two small openings.
