Abstract
Quasipatterns (two-dimensional patterns that are quasiperiodic in any spatial direction) remain one of the outstanding problems of pattern formation. As with problems involving quasiperiodicity, there is a small divisor problem. In this paper, we consider 8-fold, 10-fold, 12-fold, and higher order quasipattern solutions of the Swift–Hohenberg equation. We prove that a formal solution, given by a divergent series, may be used to build a smooth quasiperiodic function which is an approximate solution of the pattern-forming partial differential equation (PDE) up to an exponentially small error.
