    The document defines and describes several mathematical patterns: 1. A meander is a self-avoiding closed curve that intersects a line multiple times, similar to how a road crosses a river through bridges. 2. A wave is an oscillation that transfers energy as it travels through a medium, with the medium's particles oscillating around an equilibrium position. 3. Foam is modeled mathematically to simulate its flow, with the model providing a basis for simulating processes inside foam films. Extensions can improve the model's accuracy. 4. Tessellation uses tiles to cover a surface without gaps and has been used in art and architecture, with the underlying mathematics including technical geometry terms.

    Define/ describe these examples of patterns.

    Meander (mathematics)
    In mathematics, a meander or closed meander is a self-avoiding closed curve which intersects a line a
    number of times. Intuitively, a meander can be viewed as a road crossing a river through a number of bridges.

    Wave
    A wave is an oscillation (of a physical quantity) that travels through a medium, accompanied by a
    transfer of energy. Energy transfers from one point to another in the direction of the wave motion. The particles
    of the medium oscillate up and down, back and forth, or both up and down and back and forth, around an
    equilibrium position.

    Foam
    The derivation of a Galerkin scheme for the numerical examination of the model and its application to
    the film-thinning problem with particular attention to the influence of surfactants and volatile components have
    provided a deeper understanding of the mechanisms involved in this process. The model that we have
    developed in this work provides a basis for the simulation of the flow inside of a foam film. A number of
    extension can be made in further work in order to improve the accuracy and performance of the model and the
    numerical scheme, and to investigate other interesting questions, such as the coupling with a macroscopic foam
    model.

    Tessellation
    Tessellation patterns have been widely used in art and architecture since ancient times, but what lies
    under it is mathematics. Tessellation theory is extensive and complex, but we will explain some basics in order
    to bring you closer to what is behind these beautiful works of art. When it comes to tessellation in mathematics,
    also known as tiling, it is necessary to explain several technical terms that geometry operates with.

    Fracture/Crack

    The part of mechanics which studies the stress and strain fields around various defects in solid bodies
    (cracks, inclusions, dislocations, etc.). Several fracture criteria [a1] are then used to define a dangerous situation
    which may lead to a fracture of a certain material.

    In terms of the mathematical apparatus involved, one may specify two categories of problems: two-dimensional
    problems and three-dimensional ones. The theory of functions of a complex variable [a3] (cf. also Functions of
    a complex variable, theory of) and the Fourier transform method [a7] have been used for solving two-
    dimensional problems (cf. also Two-dimensional problems in fracture mechanics), while three-dimensional
    problems were treated by the integral-transform method [a4] and the Green's function method [a2] (cf.
    also Green function).

    Stripes
    Stripes are surprisingly simple to model mathematically (and much of the early work on the subject was
    by Alan Turing of "The Imitation Game" fame). These patterns emerge when interacting substances create
    waves of high and low concentrations of, for example, a pigment, chemical, or type of cell. What Turing's
    model doesn't explain is how stripes orient themselves in one particular direction.

    Fractal
    Fractal, in mathematics, any of a class of complex geometric shapes that commonly have “fractional
    dimension,” a concept first introduced by the mathematician Felix Hausdorff in 1918. Fractals are distinct from
    the simple figures of classical, or Euclidean, geometry—the square, the circle, the sphere, and so forth.
