Abstract

In this article, the diffraction of plane electromagnetic waves by double half-planes with fractional boundary conditions is considered. As particular cases, the diffractions by wedges and corners are considered for different values of fractional orders. The results are compared to the analytical ones. The interesting properties of wedge diffraction are outlined for intermediate fractional orders.
