Abstract: | Summary. A method for the numerical computation of the so-called augmented scattering matrices (ASM) is suggested for diffraction
gratings. To construct such (unitary) matrices one has to take into account not only the oscillating modes but also those
which exponentially grow (attenuate) in amplitude away from the grating. The method uses an optimization procedure to identify
the coefficients in the asymptotics of such modes. A justification of the approach is given and its numerical implementation
is discussed. Reliable numerical results allow us to study the occurrences of surface waves by means of a general existence
criterion based on the properties of ASM. To illustrate the method we give some examples of surface waves in gratings.
