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.  Such probl
 ems are eventually reduced to scalar Wiener-Hopf problems. This allows to 
 solve them and extract valuable information about the processes. We discus
 s both advantages and limitations of the method and highlight its importan
 ce for metamaterials. We conclude by revisiting a few "simplest" problems 
 demonstrating recent advances in the area.
