DESCRIPTION:We discuss a method proposed by L. Slepyan in 1981 which allow
 s solving various problems related to wave and fracture propagation in dis
 crete structures. It has already shown its effectiveness to tackle a wide 
 range of the problems and structures. One can mention: full/bridge crack p
 ropagation\, phase transition\; various lattice (rectangular\, triangular)
  and chain structures\; various links (springs / beams)\, etc. <br> Such p
 roblems are eventually reduced to scalar Wiener-Hopf problems. This allows
  to solve them and extract valuable information about the processes. We di
 scuss both advantages and limitations of the method and highlight its impo
 rtance for metamaterials. We conclude by revisiting a few "simplest" probl
 ems demonstrating recent advances in the area.
