Resonance Wave Scattering by a Strip Grat- Ing Attached to a Ferromagnetic Medium

The diffraction of a uniform unit-amplitude E-polarized plane wave is considered in the case of its normal incidence on a strip periodic metal grating placed on the anisotropic hyrotropic ferromagnetic half-space boundary. The Dirichlet boundary conditions on the grating strips, the medium interface conjugation conditions, the Meixner condition that the energy is finite in any confined volume and the radiation condition are applied, and the boundary value diffraction problem in terms of Maxwell’s (Helmholtz) equations is equivalently reduced to the dual system of functional equations with exponential kernel. The system is shown to be the Riemann-Hilbert problem in analytic function theory with the conjugation coefficient differing, in general, from “−1” and dependent on the incident wave frequency. An analytical regularization procedure based on the Riemann-Hilbert boundary value problem solution with the following use of the PlemelleSokhotsky formulas is suggested, resulting in the system of linear algebraic equations of the second kind with a compact operator. For these systems, the truncation technique possibility has been shown. Received 22 January 2010, Accepted 30 June 2010, Scheduled 14 July 2010 Corresponding author: A. S.
