Abstract: Different methods to determining the effective permittivity of two-dimensional electromagnetic crystals consisting of thin conducting cylinders is considered. The causes of discrepancies between the results obtained by different methods is analyzed. Common problems of these approaches to the description of the properties of spatially confined structures is discussed.

Keywords: electromagnetic crystals, effective refractive index, stop-band, the plasma frequency.
