Abstract
In this paper the results of the investigation of the replacement of a block in an infinite two-dimensional homogeneous square lattice by a block with different physical properties are presented. In inactive media the solution is analogous to the solution given in [1]; for multiplying media a some what modified method of solution is proposed, which method is employed in the quantum theory of fields [2]. The case of a critical infinite lattice is examined as the limiting case of the two preceding. When the homogenization conditions are fulfilled, results are obtained corresponding to the homogeneous analog of the problem considered.
