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

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.
