In the paper a new direct numerically analytic for solution of dual
integral for a wide class of boundary value problems of mathematical
physics is described on an example of diffraction problems on a grating
consisting of finite number of infinity thin bands lying in the same plane.
It is based on authors idea to reduce dual integral equations with Fourier
integrals to a singular integral equation of the first kind on a system of
intervals and its consequent solution by a direct numerical method using
interpolational quadratures. Both Dirichlet and Neumann boundary value
problems and problems with the third and fourth boundary conditions on the
bands of the grating are considered. The developed approach to the solution
of diffraction problems on gratings was used successfully while constructing
mathematical models of a wide class of boundary value problems in
electrodynamics, radio physics and electronics.
