Exterior diffraction problems for a triangular lattice

Exterior Dirichlet problems for two-dimensional lattice waves on the semi-infinite triangular lattice are considered. Namely, we study Dirichlet problems for the two-dimensional discrete Helmholtz equation in a plane with a hole. New results are obtained for the existence and uniqueness of the solution in the case of the real wave number $k\in (0,2\sqrt{2})$ without passing to a complex wave number. Besides, Green’s representation formula for the solution is derived with the help of difference potentials. To demonstrate the results, we propose a method for numerical calculation.
