Abstract: We study the behavior of solutions of the Helmholtz equation (Deltadisc,hE)uh=fh on a periodic lattice as the mesh size h tends to 0. Projecting to the eigenspace of a characteristic root lambdah(xi) and using a gauge transformation associated with the Dirac point, we show that the gauge transformed solution uh converges to that for the equation (P(Dx)E)v=g for a continuous model on , where lambdah(xi)oP(xi). For the case of the hexagonal and related lattices, {in a suitable energy region}, it converges to that for the Dirac equation. For the case of the square lattice, triangular lattice, {hexagonal lattice (in another energy region)} and subdivision of a square lattice, one can add a scalar potential, and the solution of the lattice Schr{"o}dinger equation (Deltadisc,h+Vdisc,hE)uh=fh converges to that of the continuum Schr{"o}dinger equation (P(Dx)+V(x)E)u=f.
