Abstract
In this paper the diffraction problem is considered for the plane electromagnetic wave incident on a perfectly conducting wedge, the faces of which are coated with thin layers of bi-isotropic materials. The presence of the layers is taken into account with the help of the approximate boundary conditions. These conditions contain the second derivative in the direction along the boundary. Therefore it is necessary to impose so-called contact conditions that prescribe certain relations between the wave field and its derivatives on the edge. The Malyuzhinets functional equations are obtained for the transform of the Sommerfeld-Malyuzhinets integral. These equations are considered with the help of the modified Malyuzhinets technique.
